The City of Kingston, Ontario, is opening a new Household Hazardous Waste Depot at 189 Lappan’s Lane on July 2, 2026. This facility will give residents a dedicated place to safely throw away items like batteries, leftover paint, and household chemicals that should not go in the regular garbage.
The property at 189 Lappan’s Lane was previously used for dropping off tree stumps, brush, and leaves. Now, the city is transforming it into a specialized site to handle dangerous materials more efficiently for local families.
This new depot replaces the older facility that was located just down the street at 196 Lappan’s Lane. That site was part of the Kingston Area Recycling Centre and was historically shared by residents from Loyalist Township.
While construction finishes, residents can use the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority website to find other nearby places that accept hazardous waste. The move is part of a plan to modernize how the city manages its waste and recycling services.
