“stuff” to the Enviromental Day in the Beaches - Sat.

by city councillor Sandra Bussin. (For other locations and date across
the city, go to find your local event)
Get Rid of: We'll take all your used household items and make sure they get recycled or reused by folks who want and need them. Best of all, you’ll be keeping your junk out of the landfill, so everyone wins.
You can Get: There are recycling bins and other containers, available for purchase, for exchange with broken ones or for free to new residents! (with proof of new residency in the last 90 days) There are water efficiency tools for sale such as rain barrels and indoor kits. There’s the paint exchange – bring some in or take at look at what’s been dropped off and help yourself.
FREE Leaf Compost to spruce up your lawn, garden and flower beds. Bring your own containers and shovels.
For a detailed list of items you can drop off, pick up and purchase (price for each item) from each event, check out the city website activities
