The Multi-Materials Stewardship Board’s (MMSB) Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) program has existed since 1998. Unwanted pharmaceuticals can be disposed of at a MMSB-sponsored HHW day. These events are scheduled every year. The program provides safe hazardous waste collection (including medications) for participating municipalities, raising awareness among the general public about HHW issues, and helps establish progressive waste management partnerships with participating communities.

Information for the Public

In addition to providing the public with safe disposal services for HHW, the program also raises awareness about the appropriate disposal of HHWs. Pharmaceuticals from residents only are accepted under the program as collection events are for residents only.
