Program: Hazardous WasteTopic: Collection systems , Where to Recycle map
This map provides locations for most materials captured under Ontario’s recycling programs, which are overseen by RPRA: batteries, electronics, household hazardous waste, lighting and tires. See below for more information on what to do with materials that aren’t displayed on the map.
Household hazardous waste
Drop-off locations for some household hazardous waste, such as refillable propane containers, refillable pressurized containers, fertilizers and mercury-containing thermostats, thermometers and barometers, aren’t displayed on the map because they aren’t required (under the recycling program) to be reported to RPRA.
However, there may be locations that accept these materials for recycling that aren’t listed on RPRA’s Where to Recycle map.
