RRFB Nova Scotia HHW

RRFB Nova Scotia is pleased to announce the allocation of funds in the amount of $112,000 for the 2007-2008 fiscal year to assist in the disposal of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW). The funds will be distributed equally among the seven waste management regions within the Province of Nova Scotia.

To ensure that all municipalities within a region have an opportunity to participate in this program, we will hold all requests for funding until February 29, 2008. Funds will then be allocated within regions based on applications received prior to March 1, 2008.

Eligible materials and claimable amounts are listed below. All claims must be accompanied by copies of paid invoices and copies of the corresponding cancelled cheques.

Event set up fees may be reimbursed on a 50/50 cost basis up to a maximum of $1,000 per region.

Residential paints ineligible for collection through the ENVIRO-DEPOT™ system may be included in the flammable category.

RRFB Nova Scotia must be recognized in all written or verbal communication related to this program, as approved by the Education Officer (Alanna McPhee). Print advertisements (i.e. newspaper advertisements, press releases, brochures) must include RRFB Nova Scotia's logo, as specified by RRFB Nova Scotia. Broadcast advertisements (i.e. TV, radio) must mention RRFB Nova Scotia's sponsorship. Please allow a minimum of five (5) working days for the Education Officer to review your submission. Newspaper, radio and cable advertising may be reimbursed on a 50/50 cost basis subject to approval. Failure to obtain written approval from RRFB Nova Scotia may result in non-payment of program funding.
