We all have hazardous wastes in our homes - all those odd cans of paint, stain, cleaners, batteries, oil and other similar products that were never quite used up or are too old and dirty to use anymore. Putting them in the garbage or down the drain, certainly isn't the answer - that just pollutes our lakes and landfills. Seguin Township does provide an alternative.

Seguin Township residents may take their Household Hazardous Waste to the MacFarlane Street Household Hazardous Waste Depot, in Parry Sound, free of charge.
