It’s typically around Earth Day that we start thinking about the environment and looking around the house during Spring cleaning to find those items that can be reused or recycled. The fact of the matter is that the environment should always be on our minds, 365 days of the year. This is where the Etobicoke Community Environment Days come into play.
Etobicoke hosts six Community Environment days (one for each ward) and they begin in the Spring and go right through Summer. You’ll be able to drop off any old computer equipment and peripherals; all old audio-visual equipment such as cellular phones, radios, or televisions; household waste such as cleaning supplies, batteries, and paint; and any gas-powered equipment no longer being used. At each event they will also accept donated items such as art supplies and books for school use. Sporting goods such as skates and jerseys are needed as well as any clothing. Non-perishable food items will be donated to a food bank.
You can also pick up free leaf compost for your garden as well as green bins and kitchen containers (with proof of new residency or damaged bin). You may also purchase backyard composters and green bins at extremely low prices.
Support Etobicoke’s Community Environment Days and do your part to keep the city of Etobicoke the greenest community in Toronto.
