 What is Trash to Treasure Day?

Trash to Treasure Day is an opportunity for residents to share their gently used, unwanted household items with treasure hunters.

The goal is to reuse items rather than sending them to the landfill.

Trash to Treasure Day is a free event for the whole community!

I’d like to do more to reduce my waste! What else do you suggest?

1. Mark your calendar for I Give A Shirt. This is your opportunity to donate gently used clothing to non-profit groups, simply by setting out bags of clothes on your regular waste collection day! This event takes place October 21 to 25.
2. Learn how to be a better recycler by using the Recycle Coach app, or use the app on our website at www.Cornwall.ca/recyclecoach.
3. Consider using fewer single-use plastics like grocery bags, produce bags, plastic utensils, straws, etc. Use a reusable water bottle or coffee mug.
