Single Delivery Limits for Hazardous Waste 

Household customers can deliver hazardous domestic waste free of charge. For businesses, all hazard waste collection is subject to a charge. 

The single delivery limits for hazardous waste for household customers are as follows: 

  • Brake fluid and coolant: a total of 10 liters 
  • Waste oil: a total of 30 liters 
  • Solid, oily waste: 3 liters 
  • Solvent, gasoline and fuel oil: a total of 10 liters 
  • Paint, lacquer, aerosol: a total of 30 liters 
  • Pesticide, acid and base chemicals, photographic chemical, oxidizing agents: 1 kilogram 
  • Oil filter: three pieces 
  • Liquefied gas container, single use, 5 pieces or valved max 11 kilograms, 1 piece 

How is the single delivery limit calculated 

The single delivery limit for hazardous waste free of charge is calculated based on the volume of the chemical container. For example, six five-liter paint containers will exceed the single delivery limit even if each container was almost empty. The waste oil delivery limit is calculated in the same way.  

Aerosols are included in the paint waste limit.
