Gather up those old paint cans, load up that broken tube television and don't forget those burnt out lightbulbs, it's time to put household hazardous waste and e-waste in their place!
Saturday, November 19 the City of Lethbridge Waste and Recycling department is hosting a toxic and e-waste roundup. Residents can drop off their household hazardous waste and electronic waste for free between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the parking lot at City Hall, 910 4 Avenue South.
Household hazardous waste and e-waste includes, but is not limited to:
- Paint
- Used oil
- Antifreeze
- Cleaning solvents
- Gardening and pest control products
- Light bulbs
- Televisions
- Mobile phones
The toxic and e-waste roundup is a pilot project that was initiated by Council this past summer. The program encourages residents to keep household hazardous waste and e-waste out of their black waste carts and landfill and provides a convenient location for drop off within city limits.
The roundup is for residential household hazardous waste and electronic waste only. Household hazardous waste and e-waste can be dropped off at the Waste and Recycling Centre year-round.
