Other Recycling Initiatives
Battery Recycling |
| The Town accepts batteries to recycle, ensuring that this hazardous material is not placed in the landfill. The Town collects select batteries at the landfill, Town Hall and the Sauble Beach Community Centre. The approved batteries include single-use batteries (AAAs, AAs, Cs, Ds, and 9-volts), lithium batteries, button cell batteries, and corroded or leaking batteries (which must be placed in a plastic bag before placing in the collection container). |
Green Cones |
|
The Town is now selling Green Cone Digesters. Green Cone Digesters are a viable way to manage your kitchen food waste at home, cutting down on the amount of material that enters the landfill site. Not just a traditional composter, a green cone digester harnesses the power of the sun and beneficial microbes to break down all types of food waste, even meats, oils and bones, and does not attract wildlife when used correctly! Additional information can be found on the manufacturer, Compostec's website. The initial promotional price is $115.00 plus $14.95 HST = $129.95 and the green cones can be purchased at Town Hall using cash, cheque or debit. |
Mattress Disposal/Recycling |
| The Town has initiated a mattress recycling program to divert this bulky material out of the landfill. While there is still a cost to you to dispose of your mattresses at the landfill, the tipping fees cover the cost to transport the mattresses to the facility where they will be recycled. The tipping fee to dispose of mattresses is posted at the landfill, and is included within the Fee By-Law. |
Recycle Your Electronics |
|
The Town operates a waste electrical and electronics equipment collection program at the Amabel Landfill Site through the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) Program. The following is a list of electronics that are accepted free of charge:
For further information on devices which can be dropped off see the EPRA website. |
Tire Recycling |
| The Town is a registered collector through the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority, a used tire program established to divert used on-road and off-road tires supplied to the Ontario market. The Town collects tires at the Amabel Landfill Site free of charge. |
