2023 Fall Community Environment Day

 

My annual Fall Community Environment Day is on Sunday, September 17th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Due to construction on Broadview Avenue, this year's Fall Environment Day will be held on Bouchette Street in the Port Lands, next to the Commissioners Street Transfer Station and McCleary Park. 

Drop off reusable items, dispose of household hazardous waste and electronics, and of course, pick up some free compost.* Free paper shredding services will also be available.*
