Annual HHW Collection Days
List of HHW materials we collect
Many household, automotive and gardening products are even more harmful to the environment if improperly discarded. To reduce pollution, the Town of Hampstead offers residents an annual collection day for the safe disposal of many of these materials. This collection day is reserved for residents; commercial waste is not accepted. The following products must not go in the regular garbage nor down the drain, but should instead be brought to the Hazardous Waste Collection:

What we also collect during annual collection dates
In addition to disposing of your paints, solvents, cleaners and other hazardous products, you can also take the opportunity to get rid of personal and confidential documents. Shred-It, a document destruction company, will assist you in destroying old bank records, receipts and other personal data to protect you from identity theft. EPRA-Québec will also be on site to collect end-of-life electronics, such as old computers, televisions, gaming systems, cellular phones and other electronic devices, in a safe and environmentally-friendly way.
You may also bring your unwanted clothing, fabric or leather articles to put in the bins provided by the non-profit MADA organization. The bins are now found near the Public Works garage, near the intersection of Harland and Cleve Roads. All articles in good condition will be redistributed and worn again. If not, they will be shredded and the fibers recycled to produce new fashions in clothing.
Other options if you miss the annual collection
There are six Eco-Centres on the territory of the City of Montreal where you may dispose of Hazardous Household Waste throughout the year. The closest one to our Town is Eco-Centre Côte-des-Neiges, at 6925 Côte-des-Neiges, between Bedford and Jean-Talon. Proof of residence is required (driving permit, copy of a tax bill, Accès-Montréal card or a utility bill with an identity card.) Please note that the Centre is closed on Mondays but open on Saturdays. For their business hours please call 514 872-3517.
Other places where to dispose of certain Hazardous Household Waste:
- Used tires, engine oil, and car batteries: Used tires are not accepted in the regular refuse collection. However, residents may dispose of them in any garage that sells tires.
- Paints and dyes: Residents may dispose of oil and latex paints as well as stains at the RONA Dismat stores. If the container is empty, it may be discarded in the refuse only after the traces of paint in the container are completely dry. Ideally, bring the container to the HHW collections or to one of the Eco-Centres.
- Propane tanks: Certain dealers accept used tanks for recycling.
- Outdated medication: Outdated medication can be returned to a pharmacy at all times.
