More household hazardous waste days added in 2022

If you've been holding on to some household items because you weren't sure how to properly dispose of them, you're in luck.

Chatham-Kent is teaming up with Waste Connections of Canada Ridge Landfill for monthly household hazardous waste days, starting in April.

Residents will be able to safely dispose of household hazardous material at no charge at Veolia Environmental, located at 141 Prosperity Way near Chatham.

The first day is Tuesday, April 12, 2022, from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.

This will divert material from the garbage where it could cause injury to collection workers or environmental damage.

Officials say holding the event at a central location will make it more convenient for all Chatham-Kent residents to participate.
