Household Hazardous Waste Plus Event Sets New Vehicle Record
Back to Search
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the annual Household Hazardous Waste Plus Collection Event on September 20 and 21!
Township staff, contractors, and partners welcomed a new record of 1,197 vehicles, a 15% increase from last year.
Over the course of the weekend, 37 skids of paint, 12 skids of flammable liquids, and thousands of litres of motor oil were collected from Township residents.
Properly disposing of household hazardous waste is important for protecting the environment from pollution or contamination. When waste is not correctly disposed of, it can end up in places it shouldn’t such as oceans, rivers, and forests.
