Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) RECAP:

Thanks to your sorting efforts, we safely captured and containerized 102 kg of hazardous materials to keep them out of our environment! Here is what was collected based on actual scale weights:

  • 41 kg of Aerosols

  • 28 kg of Pesticides and Toxics

  • 21 kg of Fuel Cylinders / Propane

  • 7 kg of Flammable Liquids

  • 5 kg of Corrosives (Acids)

A huge thank you is extended to Town staff and landfill staff for working over the weekend, to Helix for supplying and hauling the bins. And shoutout to ProductCare Recycling for helping us organize the HHW event and Protex Environmental for coming out and running the HHW booth.

We are pleased to see such a positive uptake of this program by our residents as it contributes to keeping our community clean and beautiful!
