Bruce County will be collecting more household hazardous waste this summer.
On July 27 at the Teeswater Public Works, Bruce County residents can bring numerous hazardous waste materials from their homes, garages, and basements and dispose of them in an environmentally safe manner.
The event will run from 8 a.m. until noon.
Household hazardous waste materials include: paints and stains, propane tanks, used oil, aerosols, batteries, antifreeze, oil filters, solvents, household cleaners, fluorescent lights, fertilizers, fuel, pharmaceuticals, fire extinguishers, pesticides, and pool chemicals. The full list is available at www.brucecounty.on.ca/hazardouswaste.
Please note that commercial waste, agricultural waste, industrial waste, PCB’s, ammunitions, and flares will not be accepted. Only containers with a volume of 30 litres or less will be accepted. Waste must be received in containers that can be disposed of. Containers will not be emptied and returned (ie. gas cans). Empty metal paint cans are blue box recyclable.
