2012 Waste Management Guide & Collection Calendar delivered to homes next week
From the Region of Halton website.
The 2012 Waste Management Guide and Collection Calendar, which has everything you need to know about waste collection in Halton Region, will be delivered to homes starting January 13. The Calendar is effective February 1 and includes a schedule for Blue Box, GreenCart, garbage, bulk and yard waste collection, information on the Halton Waste Management Site and dates for 2012 special events such as Halton’s popular Compost Give Away.
“The 2012 Waste Management Guide and Collection Calendar is a quick reference tool for residents to locate important information about all of Halton’s Waste Management programs,” said Gary Carr, Halton’s Regional Chair. “I encourage everyone to review the calendar to learn more about all of the ways we can work together to reduce, reuse and recycle our waste and continue to extend the life of Halton’s landfill site.”
The 2012 Waste Management Guide and Collection Calendar once again features Halton’s talented young artists who were selected as the Calendar Cover Art Contest winners. This year marked the fourth annual art contest that ran in the fall of 2011 asking children from kindergarten to grade eight to create the 2012 calendar cover using the theme of “you are the difference – reduce, reuse, recycle.” One entry from each of the four Local Municipalities was selected to have their creative design featured on the 2012 calendar cover. Winners include Abril Rebollo from Burlington, Michelle Kozdras and Gabrielle Dimech from Halton Hills, Christine Kilfoil from Milton and Kate Jung (Haram Jung) from Oakville.
