Residents in Outlook and the surrounding area can safely dispose of household hazardous waste during an upcoming collection event scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Town Office on 400 Saskatchewan Ave. The initiative provides a safe disposal alternative for household products that cannot go into regular garbage or down drains.
Accepted Materials and Labeling Requirements
According to event guidelines, a variety of household hazardous products will be accepted if they meet specific size and labeling criteria.

Accepted items in this category include acetone, barbecue lighter fluid, paint thinner, and gasoline stored in a ULC-approved can, as outlined by Product Care Recycling.

Pesticides, Aerosols, and Corrosive Products
Pesticides in liquid or solid form qualify for disposal if they are under 10 litres or 10 kilograms, according to program instructions. Labels must display the poison symbol, a pest control number, and the word “Domestic.” Eligible goods include yard and garden chemicals, anti-fouling paint, and sanitizers.

Examples feature lubricant sprays, glue, insect repellent, and brake cleaner, though cosmetic and beauty products are excluded from this category.
