Public Consultation

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Stewardship

 

On June 21, 2010, several Industry organizations hosted a public consultation on draft program plans to manage Household Hazardous Waste.  The plans are available for comment until Friday, July 9, 2010. 

Current HHW Program

The province contracts with Miller Environmental Corporation to collect and dispose of household hazardous waste. Although we have made efforts to make these services more user friendly, there is a very high and growing demand from Manitobans for collection and management of household hazardous waste.

 

Last year, more than 8,000 vehicles visited these depots and nearly 750,000 kilograms of waste was dropped off at the 30 collection events held across the province. The depots provide opportunity for citizens who wish to manage their waste appropriately until a more permanent industry led solution can be found.
