We’re hosting the Central Clean Sweep on November 8, 2025

CNWM is inviting residents to join a region-wide Central Clean Sweep on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at the CNWM Regional Site at Norris Arm North. The event will run from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

This special event will highlight several important recycling programs available in Newfoundland and Labrador, including:

• Atlantic Used Oil Management Association (UOMA): Recycling of used oil, oil filters, anti-freeze, and associated containers (less than 50 L).
• Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA): Safe recycling of end-of-life electronics.
• Product Care Association (PCA): Proper disposal of leftover household paint.

Throughout the event, visitors will receive informational handouts, enjoy refreshments, and have a chance to enter prize draws, including a grand prize, to wrap up the event.

“This event is all about making recycling easier and more accessible for residents,” said Geoff Beaton, Regional Outreach Coordinator with CNWM. “By working with organizations like UOMA, EPRA, and PCA, we’re ensuring that materials like oil, electronics, and paint are disposed of properly – keeping our communities cleaner and our environment healthier.”

CNWM encourages all residents to bring their used oil, electronics, and leftover paint to the event. Together, small actions can create a big impact on waste reduction and sustainability across the region.
