Household Hazardous Waste Events

The RDCK hosts Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Round Up events every year.

These events provide an opportunity for RDCK residents to responsibly dispose of RESIDENTIAL household hazardous waste materials for FREE. Please note:

• Only residential Household Hazards Waste will be accepted.
• Donations to your local Food Bank will be accepted.
• Commercial or Industrial loads or volumes will NOT be accepted (please contact HHW hauling providers).
• Click here, or see poster below, for the complete list of accepted/not accepted materials.

Fall 2025 Event information will be updated in June/July.

*Please note that the RDCK will not host an event in Nelson as there is the Nelson Leafs Eco Depot operating year round. This is the first Eco Depot to open in the RDCK through a partnership between the Nelson Leafs and the RDCK. The RDCK is working on establishing more year-round Eco-Depots in the District.

Materials Accepted at HHW Events

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Programs

The RDCK makes every attempt to involve Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs at the events which allows residents to drop off EPR items at the same time.

Due to cost restraints, not all EPR programs will be participating in our events. For information on BC’s EPR programs, including depot locations, visit www.rcbc.ca/contact or call their HOTLINE on 1-800-667-4321.
