Already, I've seen two roadside trash dumpings this week. One was on the curb of a main road leading to a large shopping centre. Someone obviously went out of their way (I'm assuming at night) to drop off household waste. The other incident happened right in front of me. A man was returning to his vehicle after walking his dog in a local park. He got into his van, turned the vehicle around, drove a few yards, stopped, got out, opened the back hatch, pulled out large cardboard boxes, threw them into the woods, got back in the van and drove off.
How convenient. These two incidents occurred minutes away from a local waste depot. Meanwhile, hundreds of other hockey families have taken the time to properly dispose of their household waste. The Green Hockey initiative now applies at home too. Don't be one of those people. Most waste depots don't charge for dumping certain items. In some cases, you will drive your vehicle on a weigh scale and have to pay anywhere from $7 to $20.
Take a moment to go online and search for waste depots or hazardous waste depots near you. Have a look at their hours of operation and map their location. You'll feel good about getting rid of the junk properly and you will be setting a great example for others.
