This type of refuse includes car
batteries, motor oil, pesticides and
herbicides, cans of paint, anti-
freeze, polishes, solvents, pharma-
ceuticals, pool chemicals and
drain openers.

Toxic waste disposal in the area
has been a problem in recent years
because the toxic waste depot in
Victoria is only open for a couple
of hours) each month, Sidney
Mayor Norma Sealey, a CRD envi-
ronment committee member, said.

The site’s hours of operation are

poorly advertised, offering Penin-
sula residents few opportunities-to
safely dispose of hazardous refuse,
Sealey said.

However, the introduction of the
CRD’s hazardous waste program,
which involves the hazardous
waste collection this weekend, is a
very positive step towards cleaning
up the environment, she said.

The toxic waste will be shipped
to Ontario for disposal and a
further collection will be made on
October 13.

the collection, call 383-2696.
