Earth Day is around the corner and Billings has some fun green activities planned.
Garbage Clean Up
Manitoulin Streams helps coordinate an Island-Wide Spring Clean Up and we can join in as well. Just take out some bags and comb your neighbourhood for garbage and recycling. Any time is fine, but if you're interested, you can bring by your collection to the Park Centre on Earth Day, April 22nd, from 9:30-12:30 and we will help you weigh and sort it for proper disposal. Let's see how much we can collect and clean up our township together! You may want to bring a bag for plastic/can recycling, and one for garbage. Cardboard & Paper can be recycled as well, but if you found it in a ditch it's likely too wet.
So swing by on Saturday with your waste collected and say "Hi"!
NOTE: you can pick up garbage/recycling bags at the town office if you need them.
Circular Economy Activities
Reusing items that still have good life in them really helps reduce our Greenhouse Gas Emissions. It helps with that spring cleaning urge too! To join in on these activities and keep older items in circulation you have two options:
NOTE: contact Tina Beckerton at the Township Office for both tbeckerton@billingstwp.ca
- Join us at the Park Centre (10am-12pm): email the township to reserve a table for your goodies at our mega community yard sale
- Host your own Yard Sale (Saturday morning): Email your location and times to the township and we'll add your name to our Earth Day Sale list for everyone to know where to go!
Compost Demonstration
Exploring more options for composting around the township is also part of the CAC's plan for 2023. There will be a dehydrating composter on display - so bring down some compost to the event and you can add it to be processed. We'll also be interested in hearing about your own compost adventures or desires for the future.
