The City’s annual Household Hazardous and Special Waste Event will be held Saturday, June 13, 2026 at the Spruce Snow Dump. Residents can dispose of old paint, pesticides, batteries, and propane tanks free of charge between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
This is a drive-thru event. Entry is off Pine St. South left onto Iroquois Rd. E. and past the Timmins Transit Garage. Residents do not leave their vehicles and volunteers will be on-hand to collect any items for disposal.
Items being collected include:
- Paint
- Aerosols
- Single use batteries
- Single use propane cylinders and refillable propane tanks
- Pesticides
- Antifreeze
- Fuel and oil
- Pharmaceuticals
- Compact fluorescents and fluorescent tubes
- Household electronics
Please note that textiles and household goods will NOT be accepted this year.
Hazardous waste like old paint and pesticides are not accepted with regular garbage collection or at the landfill. The substances can contaminate soil and groundwater, so specific collection and containment methods are required to help protect the environment.
A map and directions to the new location are available online at: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/waste_recycling_services/hazardous_waste_event.
Please note that this event is for residents only. Commercial and industrial waste will not be accepted.

The City of Timmins' Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of scheduled Water Infrastructure Maintenance activity within the following area:
South Porcupine:
• Ruth St. between Highway 101 E and Division St.
Date and Time of Disruption:
• June 9, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Homeowners and businesses within the notification area may experience short-term loss in water or pressure and can experience brown or rust-coloured water during the disruption. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, it is advised to turn off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to finish. Once the work is completed, turn on the COLD water tap closest to the source (usually your laundry tub tap) and let it run for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the water colour has returned to normal.
Environmental Service Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this emergency work.
