Electronics Now Accepted At All Events

Do you have a pile of old paint cans, outdated pesticides and car maintenance products stuck in a corner of your garage? If the answer is yes, you are not alone. Most people find that over the course of a year or two or perhaps longer, they accumulate a quantity of leftover, unwanted home maintenance products. No one wants to put these things in the regular garbage but many don’t know what else to do.

Since 1993, Quinte Waste Solutions has offered a program throughout the year in which homeowners can bring these "special wastes" to one of our collection events. Check out the Current Collection Schedule or this web site Do what you can.

The products collected at these events are categorized and then either Reused, Recycled, or packaged for safe disposal.

Objectives of the Household Hazardous Waste Program

1. To provide a cost effective and environmentally sound disposal option for hazardous products used in the home environment
2. To Reuse as much of the material collected as possible to avoid over consumption and to reduce disposal costs.
3. To provide and promote information on less environmentally harmful products

We collect a large variety of household and garden products. For a big listing of the materials that we accept, click here.

We run a very popular Reuse program called “Giveaway Days” every Wednesday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm during the operating period (April - October) at the main depot in the City of Belleville (75 Wallbridge Cres.).

We promote the use of “alternative” cleaners and gardening products through our Clean & Green program.
