Did you know that special waste such as fluorescent compact bulbs, paint and computers contains toxic materials that can contaminate soil and water? Sheridan supports diversion of special waste from landfills. If you have hazardous waste and electronic waste at home and are looking for an environmentally-friendly way to dispose of it, there is an event this weekend you might be interested in. Halton Region is offering a Special Waste Drop-off Day at the parking lot by the main entrance of the Trafalgar Campus in Oakville to collect materials from local residents. More details below.
