OPD-010-07 PAGE 3 2.0 BIA RECYCLING METRO BINS Since November 2006, Creative Advertising has provided the Municipality with the "metro bin" model of recycling. Currently we have three (3) bins in Newcastle, two (2) in Orono and thirteen (13) in Bowmanville. The containers are emptied every Friday. Since this program has started, there has been 2,555 kg. of trash and 1,368 kg. of recyclables collected up to June 30, 2007. The recyclables are taken to Miller Waste Durham Inc. at 1220 Squire Beach Road, Pickering. Staff will be considering additional locations in 2008 including parks, open space and trails. 3.0 BLUE BOXES AND GARBAGE BAG TAGS In 2002 the Clarington Operations Department commenced selling recycling blue boxes to residents of Clarington for their convenience. The closest location for residents to purchase their extra blue boxes was the Region Waste Management Facility at 1640 Ritson Road in Oshawa. Since that time residents have shown us that they are avid recyclers as we have sold 2,530 blue boxes. 4.0 In 2003 the Region of Durham introduced the "garbage bag tag" to residents. Garbage bag tags are special peel and stick labels that can be attached to your garbage bag. Residents setting out more than three bags of garbage per week are required to tag each bag over the three bag limit. Extra bag tags are available at the following locations in Clarington: .

The Region collected, hauled and disposed of it in a landfill site in Michigan. This system of garbage disposal is not sustainable. As a community we must strive to do better. If Michigan closes the border, what are you going to do with your garbage? The Region will continue to collect, sort and sell Blue Box recyclables and also collect and compost Green Bin kitchen food wastes and yard wastes. There are no major landfill sites in our Region and there is no readily available landfill space anywhere in Ontario. So, what are we to do?" This guide was designed in an effort to assist residents in proper waste disposal by providing ideas and resources that offer alternatives to curbside garbage collection. By decreasing our garbage waste we are working towards a cleaner community. This guide lists a number of businesses and organizations that will be willing to accept items that you wish to dispose of, as long as they are in a condition that will allow them to be reused by others. Although we have done our best to ensure that this guide is as up to date and inclusive as possible, we know that businesses and organizations are susceptible to change of policy, contact information, etc. Therefore we ask that you please call ahead prior to taking items to locations to ensure that they are accepting the items. This will ensure that your time and efforts are not wasted. In addition we have included information regarding garbage, recycling and compost collection. Hopefully the information and tips we have offered will allow you to manage your waste disposal in the most efficient and effective way possible. If there is something you feel we should include in our guide, such as updated information regarding the businesses and organizations we have listed, or additional resources for items that are to be disposed of, please contact us at the Municipality of Clarington, Operation Department at 905-263-2291.

Proper Practices Household Hazardous Wastes require special attention during handling, storage, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal. Many products we use every day are hazardous. Household Hazardous Wastes should not be mixed in with your regular garbage and they should never be poured down the drain, emptied into your toilet, laundry tub or storm sewers. · Landfill sites and waste water treatment plants are not designed to accept such toxic chemicals · Storm sewers flow directly into nearby water courses such as neighbourhood creeks, streams and lakes from which our drinking water is taken. · All residents are urged to do their part in keeping our neighbourhoods clean and safe by bringing Household Hazardous Wastes to a licensed drop-off depot.
