2010 Community Environment Days: Reuse, Recycle and Safely Dispose!

*** Saturday July 17, 2010 - Leaside Memorial Gardens - 1073 Millwood Rd. (at Laird Dr.) ***

Do your part in creating a cleaner, greener and more liveable Toronto. What better way to live green than to attend a Community Environment Day event.

Bring us your unused and unwanted household items and you will help to:
  • Extend the life of a product by offering it to someone for reuse.
  • Reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and ensure that it is properly recycled.
  • Ensure that hazardous waste materials are disposed of safely.
So hit your closets, basements, attics and garages for all the goods you can spare and then get out to your local event (or any event across the city that you’d like to attend).

Check out the other areas of this 2010 Community Environment Days website for a complete event schedule and detailed list of everything you can take to and get from your event.
