Household Hazardous Waste

Starting February 3, 2024, the City of Whitehorse is introducing weekly household hazardous waste disposal days to residents for free, every Saturday from 9 am to 4 pm at the Whitehorse Waste Management Facility (6 km north of downtown at Mile 919.72 Alaska Highway).

HHW materials include liquid paint, motor oil and their containers, solvents, gasoline, BBQ starter, anti-freeze, household cleaning products, compact fluorescent light bulbs, household and car batteries, pesticides, aerosol cans and other containers under pressure such as bear spray and propane canisters. Commercial hazardous waste is not accepted and regular tipping fees apply for all non-HHW waste (including computers and TVs).

The Saturday HHW days are included on our Curbside Collection Schedule.

E-waste (TVs, computer equipment, fax machines, copy equipment, etc.) should be taken to Raven ReCentre.
