Proper Disposal of Hogweed

The hogweed must be double bagged and the City's Environmental Services Division must be advised 48 hours prior to delivery. This will allow proper notification, so that the landfill site operator can prepare a special disposal area for the hogweed. There will be no hogweed collected as part of City waste collection services. For further information, please call City Services at 3-1-1.

Pharmacies to become Municipal Household Special Waste (MHSW) collection sites

Consumers across the province can continue to return their unused or expired medications to their local pharmacies, following an agreement between Stewardship Ontario and Stericycle, which will provide pharmaceutical waste collection and disposal services.

Residents should first confirm that their pharmacy will accept their expired or unused medicines. If your local pharmacy is unable to accept this waste, then please use the City's Household Hazardous Waste program.
 
Pharmacies wishing to join the program are encouraged to contact Stewardship Ontario for specific details either by electronic mail to werecycle@stewardshipontario.caor by telephone at 1-888-288-3360.
