Bruce County is encouraging its residents to remove hazardous waste materials from their homes, garages, and basements and dispose of them in an environmentally safe manner.
To assist with this cleanup effort, they will be hosting 13 Household Hazardous Waste Collection events in locations across the County this year starting in May and running through September.
Household hazardous waste includes paints & stains, propane tanks, used oil, aerosols, batteries, antifreeze, solvents, fluorescent lights, pesticides and pool chemicals.
Only containers with a volume of 30 litres or less will be accepted.
