Can I report my workplace for improper disposal of light bulbs containing mercury? (ONTARIO)

I work for a municipality in Ontario Canada. We recently redid almost all the lights in our building, and had barrels of light bulbs containing mercury to get rid of. My boss called and found out it would cost about $1200 to dispose of them. He thought that to be outrageous and told us to just dump them in the dumpster under the usual trash. Is this illegal? Is it possible to anonymously report them?
