Important update on battery bags in Dufferin County
Special battery collection is happening from November 3 to 6 this fall! Due to the Canada Post strike, battery bags will be available at the County office located at 55 Zina Street (enter from 10 Louisa Street) or your local municipal office before November 3.
Please visit www.dufferincounty.ca/waste for additional pick-up locations! A clear resealable bag can also be used.
Households are asked to fill up their battery bags with old single-use and rechargeable household batteries. Residents must place battery bags on top of their green bin or beside their garbage – not on top of a blue box – by 7 am on their collection day the week of November 3.
No batteries can be placed inside blue boxes, green bins or garbage
Residents are advised to follow the instructions on the battery bag to ensure collection and proper recycling of batteries. 9V battery terminals are to be covered with masking tape. Single-use and rechargeable household batteries can also be dropped off at battery drop-off bins around Dufferin County.
