Special Waste Drop Off On May 16th & 17th

May 12, 2014

The Ministry of Public Works said they would like to advise the public that they will hold their semi-annual Special Waste Drop Off event this Friday May 16th and Saturday May 17th.

“Residents may bring compact fluorescent light bulbs, old pesticides, hobby chemicals, outdated medicines or anything else with a hazardous or warning label to the Tynes Bay Waste to Energy plant on Palmetto Road, Devonshire between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m,” a spokesperson said.

“If put into regular household garbage, special waste items can present a health risk for Waste Collections Staff, Bermuda’s environment and you.

“Through the Ministry’s Comprehensive Waste Management Plan all Special Waste items are sent overseas for safe disposal and, whenever possible, recycling, which benefits all of us in Bermuda by keeping us safe from potential environmental hazards and benefiting the planet by reusing or recycling the end product.”
