Product Qualifications
Look for the right safety symbols
For empty flammable liquid containers, the container must display the flammable symbol, or a phrase similar to “keep away from open spark or flame”
For empty pesticide containers, the container must contain a PCP number, the poison symbol and the word “domestic” on the label.
Only completely empty containers
No drips, sludge, or leftover product (for leftover product, please visit BC’s HHW program).
Household containers only
No commercial or industrial products.
Keep the original container and label
We can only accept containers with readable labels.
Participating depots
Your empty container can still do something good
Even when the product is gone, the container shouldn’t go to waste.
By returning your empty HHW containers, you help keep hazardous packaging out of landfills and reduce the amount of waste that ends up in the environment.
It’s a simple drop-off that helps protect our environment.
