Household Chemical Waste

Household Chemical Waste materials are harmful to humans, animals and the environment, as well as begin the leading cause of water pollution in North America. They should never be flushed down the toilet, poured down the sink or deposited in a storm drain. Storm drains are not treated or filtered. Everything that goes into a storm drain flows into local creeks and lakes. Prevent this by using the Hazardous Chemical Waste Depot. These items can be dropped off free of charge for residential customers only. Residential customers are restricted to two (2) twenty (20) litre pails of household chemical waste per trip. Common Hazourdous Chemical Waste items include:

• Oil and oil filters

• Glues/ Adhesives

• Batteries (all types)

• Propane tanks and cylinders

• Car care products

• Gasoline

• Fluorescent lights

• Paints, varnishes and stains

• Pesticides

• Pool Chemicals

Electronic Waste

Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest growing source of waste in North America. As faster, smaller and more powerful computer equipment, phones, televisions, stereos, and small home appliances are introduced, current models quickly become obsolete. Unfortunately, these electronics are filling up landfills fast.

Lead, cadmium and mercury are found in most electronic equipment, making them a hazardous risk to human health and the environment if they are not disposed of properly.

Anything with cord can be recycled FREE at the Public Drop off depot.

EC Computers in Lakeshore's community of Belle River accepts the following electronics for recycling. They also provide a complimentary data wipe to destroy any personal information that may reside on hard drives. Electronics are accepted whether they are working or not. Electronic Waste such as the following can be accepted:

• Any computers or equipment

• Computer accessories (mice, keyboard, power cords, etc.)

• Computer peripherals (printers, fax machines, scanners, etc.)

• Software

• Cell phones

• CRT & LCD computer monitors

• Televisions

• All Audio/Video equipment

• All non-ferrous and precious metals

• Copper based wiring

• Printer cartridges (used or unused)

• Batteries
