The City of Timmins is inviting residents to provide feedback on our annual Household Hazardous and Special Waste Event. Each year, the event offers residents a way to properly dispose of household hazardous and special waste, free of charge.
Many everyday products used around the home contain hazardous ingredients. When thrown away with regular trash, the items can release toxic chemicals into the environment, harmful gases that contribute to air pollution, and can cause risk to wildlife. It’s important that household hazardous waste is properly disposed of through special collection events or drop-off sites that can safely handle hazardous materials.
The City’s Environmental Service Dept. is looking for opportunities to improve the event, with a goal of increasing the amount of household hazardous waste that is diverted from municipal landfills. We would like your thoughts on how to make the event better, how to improve communication about hazardous waste, and what month and time of day would be best for the event. The survey takes about 4-5 minutes to complete and is available now until March 21, 2025.
SURVEY IS CLOSED
Thanks for your help in making this annual event even better!
