Do you have a stockpile of old paint, a drawer full of dead batteries or maybe a half dozen burnt out Compact Fluorescent bulbs? If the answer is yes, you are not alone. Most people find that over the course of a year or two they accumulate a quantity of leftover, unwanted hazardous waste. No one wants to put these things in the garbage, but many don’t know what else to do.
The products collected at these events are categorized and then either Reused, Recycled, or packaged for safe disposal.
Or maybe you have just replaced your computer, television or video player with a new one and now don’t know what to do with the old one? Let Quinte Waste Solutions help you dispose of your unusable waste electronics responsibly, keep them out of landfill, send them to be fully recycled, and all for free!
