Conservation Day Coming To Brampton
This is open to all Region of Peel residents (i.e., Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon).
Coincidentally, Conservation Day in Mississauga was held last week during an exemption period (to the 2 bag limit) when residents were already permitted to place an unlimited quantity of acceptable waste at the curbside on scheduled pickup days.
Conversation Day is coming to Brampton!
Formerly known as Environment Day, this special one day event will be held at Fletcher’s Meadow Secondary School, located at 10750 Chinguacousy Rd., in Brampton, on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2008, between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. Only residents arriving in vehicles will be allowed entry (i.e., no walk-in traffic).
Residents may drop off the following items free of charge:
- household hazardous waste items (e.g., batteries, household cleaners, solvents, paint, motor oil, pesticides)
- electronics (except TVs)
- confidential fine paper for shredding, and
- reusable goods for Goodwill (e.g., clothing, furniture, books, and small appliances).
The following items are not accepted at the event. Instead, you can take these to a local Community Recycling Centre (CRC):
- waste wood
- scrap metal
- tires
- TVs
(By the way, if you make a non-perishable food donation at the event, you'll receive a $10 voucher which you can use at a CRC.)
