Change clocks and recycle batteries
March 5, 2015 · 0 Comments
As clocks spring forward this weekend, Dufferin residents are reminded to round up their used household batteries for a special curbside battery collection. This collection will take place on regular curbside collection days from March 9 to 12.
Residents can place batteries in special orange Battery Bags, which were mailed to each household over the past couple of weeks, and then place these battery filled bags on top of their Blue Box contents. If you did not receive one of these special orange Battery Bags in your mail, they are available for pick up at any local municipal office.
This will be the fourth time that Dufferin has offered the program, which has been met with great success in the past. In 2014, more than 3,700 kg of batteries were collected at the curb, with an additional 12,000 kg still being collected at events, municipal offices, libraries, and arenas.
This is another great opportunity to prevent hazardous materials from going to landfill.
