It could be used oil from vehicles\, fluorescent light bulbs\, expired bear spray\, cleaning products\, and many others. Proper disposal is important to ensure these materials don’t end up polluting the air we breath or the water we drink.

Use the What Goes Where sorting tool to find out! \nResidents can dispose of their HHW for free at the Waste Management Facility (WMF). There are two locations within the facility to drop off your HHW. Please note the times and days specified below. \nKBL Environmental Drop-off\nMondays\, Thursdays\, and the first Saturday of each month\n9 am to 4 pm\nFor: Waste oil\, antifreeze\, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)\, automotive containers and oil filters.\nClick here to see a detailed list of accepted items. \nCity of Whitehorse Drop-off\nSaturdays\n9 am to 4 pm\nDrop off all other HHW here.\nClick here to see a detailed list of accepted items.\nSupported by the Department of Community Services (YG). \n \nCommercial Hazardous Waste\nThe industrial\, commercial\, institutional\, construction and demolition sector must handle hazardous waste responsibly.

SUMMARY:Mineral Exploration and Development Engagement Open House
DESCRIPTION:The City has a developed a draft framework for regulating mineral exploration and development activities within city limits. \nThe City’s Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw provide guidance about where mineral exploration and development activities are allowed\, but there is a need for greater clarity about how these activities are permitted. The draft framework is intended to provide clear guidance to claims holders and the public while reflecting community values and goals. \nThe framework was developed based on feedback received from residents in 2025 on how mineral exploration and development could be regulated within city limits. \nTo explain the proposed regulatory approach and answer questions from residents\, the City is hosting two open houses about the draft framework: \nMonday\, February 23\n4:00 to 7:30 p.m.\nFrank Slim Building in Shipyards Park \nThursday\, February 26\n4:00 to 7:30 p.m.\nCanada Games Centre \nThe City has also launched a survey so that the public can provide feedback on the draft framework. \nVisit engagewhitehorse.ca/mining to view the draft framework\, find more information and fill out the survey\, which is open until March 9.
