Quinte Waste Solutions services
Materials Exchange Services
Have you ever thought `Some of this stuff I need to dispose of might be useful to someone else?` Well, that is often true and we would like to help match up disposers and users. Here`s how it works: Type of material. Quantity, size, or other specifications. When is it available - one time only or on a regular basis. Price if any, freight arrangements. Contact name, phone number, fax number. As this Web site is developed we should be able to list items. Only the information authorized by the disposer will be available to potential users, all other information will remain confidential. Whenever possible we will provide an active search to find a possible user. When a match is made, the user will be provided with the contact name and phone number to arrange the exchange.
Electronics Recycling Services
Electronics waste - or `E-waste` as it is now known - is becoming an increasingly problematic material for municipal waste handlers. Most electronic items contain metals, such as cadium and lead, that are toxic to the environment and should not be landfilled. In the Quinte area, electronics are now handled through our Hazardous Waste Collection system. Collection event dates and locations are listed here. Electronics are collected under contract and taken for recycling. Potentially harmful metals are removed for reuse. Plastics are recycled. Fluorescent tubes and lights are also part of this collection. (Ballasts are not). Televisions and microwave ovens are NOT part of this collection service. They go in the garbage. ( Call you local municipal office for proper disposal).
