The City of Ottawa is hosting a one-day household hazardous waste collection depot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 29 at the Trail Waste Facility, 4475 Trail Road, off Moodie Drive, south of Fallowfield Road. This depot provides a convenient way for you to help keep the environment free of hazardous household waste. Attendants will unload the hazardous material and dispose of it safely. Some examples of household hazardous waste include energy efficient light bulbs, turpentine, aerosol containers, fire extinguishers, mercury switches, mercury thermometers, pool chemicals, insecticides, stains, wood preservatives, barbecue starters, propane tanks, oven cleaners, disinfectants, herbicides, fungicides, furniture stripper, gasoline and window cleaner. Avoid lineups for the following products: · Waste oil can be brought back to a Take it Back! partner retailer; check the City’s Web site at ottawa.ca under Recycling and Garbage for a list of 100 retailers that take back oil. · Latex paint can be hardened at home with clumping kitty litter or a commercial paint hardener and the hardened paint put out in your regular garbage bag. Recycle the empty, cleaned paint can (with the lid removed) in your Blue Box. *Only household quantities accepted (e.g. 25 paint cans/20 litres of oil). No commercial waste accepted. For more information visit the City’s Web site at ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1 (TTY: 613-580-2401). Public inquiries 3-1-1
