Hazardous Waste Disposal at Tunney’s Pasture – May 5, Sept 15

As described in https://ottawa.ca/en/residents/garbage-and-recycling/hazardous-waste-and-special-items we have local waste depots twice this year, for disposing of paint, old electronics and other things too dangerous for regular garbage.

The depot runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Tunney’s Pasture. Dates this year are:
Sunday, May 5, 2019
Sunday, September 15, 2019

Some of the odder and more dangerous things I’ve brought and the chemical experts at the depot had fun looking over – old gardening chemicals with Malathion (still used for West Nile mosquitoes), DDT and Chlordane.

P.S. At last night’s FCA Board meeting, I proposed that all CA’s would benefit from working together and learning from each other’s experiences. With rising waters on many people’s minds, agreement was unanimous. The FCA will develop a means of doing so.
