Marking the 19th Waste Reduction Week, the County of Haliburton, the four lower-tier municipalities and the Haliburton County Public Library are teaming up to provide information on how to reduce the amount of garbage each of us creates.
The social media channels of all of the municipalities and the library will offer tips on waste reduction and offer book recommendations. In addition, the library will be posting activities on its Facebook page and YouTube channel from Tuesday, Oct. 20 to Saturday, Oct. 24. Activities include Tech Time on which cords in your home you need, a Maker Break on making candles using old candle stubs, and a special announcement about a new lending service, among other things.
Waste Reduction Week is from Oct. 19 to 25 and is observed by municipalities across Canada.
