Earth Day
In honour of Earth Day, the City of Ottawa, in collaboration with the Ottawa Tool Library is sponsoring a Repair Café! On Saturday, April 20, visit Jean Pigott Place (inside Ottawa City Hall) at 110 Laurier Avenue West for free repairs of electronics, clothing, small appliances, jewelry, and more. Visit Ottawa.ca/WasteReduction for event details and to see all City Sponsored upcoming Repair Café. Choosing to repair rather than replace is cost effective and helps reduce waste.
Did you know that batteries don’t belong in the garbage or recycling bins? By properly disposing of batteries, we prevent fires in City trucks and processing facilities, and keep operators and first responders safe. Fortunately, there are numerous retailers and organizations that will take back batteries for safe disposal. The Waste Explorer tool, available at ottawa.ca/WasteExplorer and via the Ottawa Collection Calendar mobile app, is your go-to guide for proper disposal of batteries (and over 1,000 other items)!
