Be a responsible consumer – it makes sense

Something all of us, as individuals, can do to protect water quality and the environment is to recycle products that are not degradable such as glass, cans and motor oil. Many municipalities in Canada have recycling programs.

Choose non-hazardous products. Most household chemical products and pesticides sold in Canada have warning labels. These labels tell whether the product is flammable, poisonous, corrosive or explosive. Proper disposal of these products is important to ensure water quality is not affected.
