The materials will be disposed of properly and in an “environmentally friendly matter,” said the city in a release.

The city is asking people not to dispose of household hazardous waste “in your garbage or by pouring items down the drain or storm water sewers, as it will harm the environment.”

The drop-off is for Regina residents only and vehicles bringing hazardous waste from business activities are not permitted.

They said it’s “worth the effort to protect our environment for future generations.”

Materials need to be labelled correctly and stored securely.
