If you have been storing some old cooking oil, pool chemicals, pesticides, paints, or fuel through the winter, you can say goodbye to all of that soon.
The first Household Hazardous Waste Day of 2023 in Chatham-Kent will take place on Tuesday, April 11 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Veolia Environmental Services.
It is located at 141 Prosperity Way in the Bloomfield Business Park (you can find a map below).
Anyone who wants to drop off material should stay in their vehicle and have staff remove the items for you.
You are also reminded that the containers you bring your waste in will not be emptied and/or returned.
If you miss April's drop-off or you are looking to drop off your household hazardous waste at a different time, you can also do that on the following dates (all from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Veolia Environmental Services):
