Special Waste

Electronic Waste Collection – Reservation Required Starting in 2026

Beginning in 2026, electronic waste will be collected by reservation only. To schedule your pickup, simply reserve your collection using the form below. Collections remain completely free, and you can include an unlimited number of accepted electronic items in a single reservation.

Prefer to drop items off instead? Electronic waste can also be recycled for free year-round at several designated recycling locations. Consult this map for the full list of drop-off locations for electronic waste.

Thanks for doing your part to recycle responsibly ♻️

See the list of hazardous waste accepted at this event.

The next annual event will take place October 3, 2026 from 8:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. at the Hawkesbury Sewage Plant at 815 Main St E, Hawkesbury. 

Between these annual collection events, certain types of hazardous waste, such as batteries and paint, can be returned for recycling at select retail locations participating in the provincial hazardous waste program. A list of these retail locations, as well as other special waste disposal options are available at the bottom of the page.

Some types of waste don’t easily fit into any given waste stream. When unsure of how to dispose of these odd types of waste, please consult our table of Special Waste Disposal Options.

This table will help you properly dispose of these items, divert waste appropriately & help make our Town more sustainable!

The Resource Productivity & Recovery Authority (RPRA) maintains a Where to Recycle map that displays locations across Ontario where you can drop off used materials, such as batteries, electronics, household hazardous waste, lighting and tires, for free to be recycled, reused or refurbished. 

Please follow each location's protocols and call ahead before dropping off any materials.
