Take It Back!
product stewardship program and 3 R’s community directory
Automotive
The eighth edition of the County of Dufferin’s Take It Back!
Directory is here…
Lets face it; we all generate waste. Currently, we are helping to
Automotive reduce, reuse and recycle many of our unwanted items.
However, there are still materials thrown into our garbage bags that
go to landfill sites. In fact, in Ontario we send approximately
ten million tonnes of waste to landfills each year.
Municipal governments handle the majority of residential waste. With
programs such as blue box recycling, green bin and yard waste
composting, household hazardous waste and
electronic goods recycling,
we are doing what we can to divert waste
product stewardship program from landfills. However, there are still
and 3R’s community directory many products out there that cannot be
handled through municipal diversion
programs.
This terrific reference guide can help you
to further reduce your household waste.
It lists retailers, vendors, and
Household
organizations that ‘take back’ or
accept used products and materials.
Returned products and materials are
reused, recycled or disposed of properly.
Charitable and community organizations
that accept products for reuse and
Health & Garden
recycling are also listed.
Finally, check out the Directory’s other informative sections. Learn
how to reduce your household waste, participate in the DUFFERIN
COMPOSTS! Green Bin Program and find helpful information about
Household Hazardous Waste and Electronic goods
Recycling Event Days.
