ensure that local hazardous waste collection programs are accessible and convenient, and provide information to encourage the use of non-toxic (green) household products.

If the foregoing is undertaken by the municipality, the municipality should provide the Cataraqui Source Protection Authority with a copy of the program evaluation within 60 days of its completion or after its endorsement by Council, if applicable.
