Region of Peel Hosts Conservation Day in Mississauga: May 5
BRAMPTON, ON (April 23, 2018) – The Region of Peel is hosting its annual Conservation Day at the Clarkson Go Station in south Mississauga on Saturday, May 5.
Conservation Day, held from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., is a special one-day event that brings specific waste management services to Peel residents. The Clarkson Go Station is located at 1100 Southdown Road.
Residents who arrive in a vehicle may drop off these items for free:
- confidential fine paper for shredding,
- household hazardous waste: batteries, household cleaners, paints and solvents,
- reusable goods: clothing, books and small appliances – but not furniture, and
- used electronic equipment: phones, personal computers, circuit boards and TVs.
“Conservation Day gives residents the opportunity to dispose of unwanted items that are not collected at the curb or in apartments,” says Dwayne Cromwell, Peel’s Supervisor of Remediation and Environmental Solutions. “Disposing of these items properly and safely is a great way to help to keep our community clean and items out of landfill.”
Residents can also purchase rain barrels for $50 – cash only, taxes included.
Residents may also check peelregion.ca/waste to see what other items can be dropped off at any Peel Community Recycling Centre – and what drop-off fees may pertain to those items.
