How can I dispose of my Household Hazardous and Special Waste?

Each year the Bruce County Highways Department organizes events throughout the County for the collection of Household Hazardous and Special Waste materials from residents.   Bruce County 's 2012 HHSW Event Collection Schedule 

Residents are asked to fill out a Household Hazardous and Special Waste Ticket before dropping off their materials.   In an effort to speed up the line at the HHSW events the County of Bruce has made the HHSW Ticket available online so participants can print it off and fill in it before they get to the event.

Things to Remember:

• Buy only whar you need
• Use it all up
• Divert
• Safely dispose of the rest

For more information regarding the recycling and disposal of hazardous waste please see “Is Your Hazardous Waste Going to the Right Place?” and“HHSW Frequently Asked Questions”

Neither the County, nor the "Snow Plow Operators", will be held financially responsible for any damages to a homeowner's property deemed to be on County road allowance when performing their daily maintenance operations. This includes, but is not limited to, damages involving fences, mailboxes, entranceways and entrance signage. There is no practical way to plow the roads without depositing snow into driveways. County staff and snowplow operators appreciate your cooperation and will continue to maintain the County road system to the best of their ability.

Thank you for your cooperation.

In 2009 two trailers were purchased and were designed and built locally to supply emergency equipment to major incidents.

The Incident Response Units have mass casualty incident supplies and will provide medical equipment to treat twenty patients at an incident with multiple patients.

The IRU’s are self sufficient with their own lighting and have oxygen equipment for multiple patients. The trailers also have stored medical supplies that can be used to restock ambulances at major incidents.
