Hazardous Waste Round-Up & Paint Exchange

Here is your opportunity to clean out all those half-empty containers that may be dangerous if dumped down the drain, poured on the ground, or even sent to the Camrose Landfill.

Every householder uses products in the house and garden containing chemicals that are hazardous when disposed of improperly. Mixed together in landfills, these chemicals can be dangerous - to the workers and to the environment.

In order to participate you must keep your materials in their original containers. If the container is broken or cracked, place it inside a leak-proof package and label it. If you discover jars or cans of unidentified chemicals, take them to the Round-Up and tell a staff person you are unsure of the contents.

Any container that cautions about careful use of the product or disposal of the container should be included in the Hazardous Round-Up.

Examples of typical household hazardous wastes are:

All the materials collected at the Hazardous Round-Up will be collected, classified, manifested, packed and transported by trained personnel and taken to the Alberta Special Waste Management Facility near Swan Hills where the waste will be taken for proper treatment and disposal. The cost of treatment will be borne by Alberta Special Waste Management Corporation.

Your co-operation and support of the Camrose Hazardous Waste Round-Up is most appreciated.
