Get rid of hazardous waste on Saturday during the Aquatera Utilities Recycling Roundup.
The annual event is held in partnership with Alberta Recycling and provides community members with the opportunity to safely dispose of items such as electronics, batteries, paint, small appliances, and ammunition for free.
Solid Waste Operations Manager Sarah Kaut explains that the items need special handling.
“Improper disposal can contaminate our land, water, and air and pose serious risks to both human and environmental health,” Kaut says.
Along with the safe disposal, the family-friendly event also offers the opportunity to educate people about the work the Eco Centre does and how it protects our environment. According to officials, a shredding truck will also be on-site during the event to help safely dispose of sensitive documents.
The event is being held at the Eco Centre on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
