From chemicals to paint to batteries, CK residents will be able to get rid of household hazardous waste next week.
The area's first Household Hazardous Waste Day is Tuesday, April 8 at Veolia Environmental Services (141 Prosperity Way). The event runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Each vehicle can drop off up to 50 litres of waste material, which is clearly labelled in sealed containers and is not to be mixed together.
Acceptable items include:
• Pool chemicals
• Ammonia
• Bleach
• Pesticides
• Cleaning fluids (drain, oven)
• Gasoline
• Paints
• Batteries
• Lightbulbs
• E-Waste (computers, TVs, printers, cell phones)
• BBQ propane tanks
The municipality asks that when dropping off materials everyone stay inside the vehicle, staff will remove the items.
If you're unable to drop off collected hazardous materials on Tuesday, a full list of hazardous waste days can be found here.
