| Household Hazardous Waste
None of us consciously generates hazardous waste. But take a look around
your home. The countless items we use in our daily activities inevitably
result in some form of waste. Many of these wastes are potentially damaging
to our environment and to our health and safety. We all have a responsibility
to ensure that these wastes are managed safely and effectively.
The Household Hazardous Waste Round-up program is currently coordinated
through Action on Waste. Approximately 65 communities throughout Alberta
participate in annual one-day events, with the cities of Edmonton, Calgary
and Lethbridge hosting year-round facilities. Over 4.5 million litre equivalents
of household hazardous waste materials have been safely treated and disposed
of in the province since 1988.
