Annual Hazardous Waste Event is June 13 
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.
