www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, September 12, 2012 · 20 Halton hosts compost give away and special waste drop-off Two of Halton Region's popular fall waste diversion events are fast approaching. The fall Compost Give Away event will take place on Saturday (Sept. 15). It will be held from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the Halton Waste Management Site (HWMS), 5400 Regional Road 25 in Milton. Halton Region will also be hosting the remaining two Special Waste Drop-Off days on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Suncor Energy in Oakville and on Oct. 20 at Mohawk Raceway in Campbellville. "Both the Compost Give Away and Special Waste Drop-off events are well attended by residents each fall," said Gary Carr, Halton's Regional Chair. During the one-day fall Compost Give Away event, Halton Region offers compost to residents free of charge. Residents must bring their own bags or containers (maximum seven garbage bags or equivalent per household) and a shovel in order to bag their own compost. To ensure a healthy garden, a blend of 60 per cent topsoil and 40 per cent compost should be used. Residents attending this year's fall event are again encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item or cash donation, which will be distributed to Halton area food banks. During the spring Compost Give Away in May, almost 3,860 residents picked up approximately 1,500 tonnes of compost created from all of the leaves, brush, tree and garden trimmings collected curbside and dropped off at the HWMS. Residents also donated $8,525 and 4,790 kilograms of food to local food banks as part of the event. To make the recycling of household hazardous waste and electronic waste more convenient to residents, Halton Region holds a series of Special Waste Drop-off Days throughout the year, free of charge. Acceptable items for drop-off include pesticides, paint, motor oil, antifreeze, propane tanks, computers, stereos, TVs, DVD players, and VCRs. Special Waste Drop-off Days are for Halton residents only. No commercial wastes are accepted. For the complete list of acceptable and unacceptable items please visit www.halton. ca/waste. Residents who are unable to attend the Special Waste Drop-off Days may drop off acceptable hazardous waste (20 litres per trip, no commercial materials) and electronic items (five items per trip) free of charge at the HWMS, 5400 Regional Road 25 in Milton, Monday-Saturday between 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. 3 DAYS ­ End of Season Clearance SEPT 12, 13 & 14 Wed and Thurs 10 am - 8 pm Fri 9 am - 5 pm Golf Liquidators QUALITY SUITES HOTEL 745 Bronte Rd.
