Protect yourself, your property, and our environment

Safe disposal of cooking oil, cleaners, paints, gas, batteries, and light bulbs helps protect you and your property. Bring your household hazardous waste (HHW) to the District's HHW drop-off events or our year-round facility, to be disposed of properly at no charge. 

No charge drop off

Muskoka residents can drop off household hazardous waste free of charge at scheduled events or at our year-round facility in Bracebridge, and we will ensure they are recycled or disposed of safely. 

Updates on program impacts or event cancellations will be posted at MuskokaRecycles.ca and our free Muskoka Recycles mobile app. 

 Reminders when you arrive
  • Await direction from attendant.
  • Tell the attendant you have household hazardous waste materials, and they will direct you to the household hazardous waste depot.
  • Please wait until we ask you to unload your vehicle, and do not smoke or use your cell phone while unloading.
  • Follow instructions by our staff so we can ensure your safety.
