CHILLIWACK — The City of Chilliwack is inviting residents to a safety-minded doubleheader this weekend – Household Hazardous Waste Day and the annual Safety Fair.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday (Oct. 4), folks are encouraged to drop off their hazardous waste, including oil, oil filters and antifreeze, for free at the Operations Centre parking lot next to Chilliwack Heritage Park.

Proof of residency will be required, and only household waste will be accepted. Businesses and commercial entities handling hazardous waste are asked to contact a dedicated waste collection company.
