Special Waste Collection Service for Yukon Businesses


Since 1993, Environment Yukon has administered an annual collection of special wastes from Yukon industries and shipped them out of the Yukon for recycling or disposal. An average of 45,000 kg of special wastes are collected annually.

If your Yukon business is storing special wastes (used oil, antifreeze, solvents and batteries), call Environment Yukon to have your special wastes picked up and taken away.


Your business will be responsible for the disposal costs. Environment Yukon will pay the transportation cost and will ship your special wastes to a proper disposal or recycling facility.

This pick-up and delivery service is available to all businesses through-out the Yukon.
