Household Hazardous Waste Disposal – Tunney’s Pasture October 28th

As mentioned at http://ottawa.ca/en/garbage_recycle/special/hhw/index.html and in roadside signs on Scott Street, there will be a hazardous waste disposal day at Tunney’s pasture this Sunday. So if you missed the summer occasion, this is the opportunity to dispose of old paint, batteries (the cadmium in rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries is tremendously more toxic than the lead in car batteries, which is bad enough itself), things with mercury in them and other items that would best not be put in the general landfill. See the web page for a longer list of items or check the Waste Explorer database.

ELECTRONICS RECYCLING – April 21

On Saturday April 21 (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) the Broadview Avenue Public School Parents Council will be holding an e-waste collection fundraiser. This is a good opportunity to get rid of those old cell phones, computers, monitors, scanners, CD players and other bits of technology you might have lying around. Funds raised from this drive will go toward the Broadview Yard Renewal Project.

Although the main event is on Saturday there is an early bird drop-off on Friday, April 20 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Items can be dropped off at Broadview Public School, 590 Broadview Avenue (at Avondale) in Westboro.  Use the Broadview Avenue entry.

A complete list of the devices that you can donate can be found at www.broadviewparents.org/yard/2012/01/20/give-us-your-old-electronics-please

For additional information please call 613 721-1460.
