The Prince Edward Island Department of Community and Cultural Affairs, with assistance from Environment Canada, is planning a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day to be held June 4, 1988. The event will be staged in conjunction with other activities proposed for National Environment Week and will contribute to the general heightening of environmental awareness among members of the public on the Island. Five collection stations will be set up and manned by employees of the Department trained in classifying and packaging requirements for hazardous wastes. Householders will be invited, through an Island-wide media blitz, to bring their hazardous wastes to one of the collection points for proper disposal. Wastes will be segregated; recyclable materials will be recovered; low hazard materials will be landfilled or burned; and hazardous wastes not amenable to on island disposal will be sent off site via a contracted licensed disposal firm. 1, record 7, English, - Household%20Hazardous%20Waste%20Collection%20Day

"Household waste": This term is usually used in the plural form, so it should be written "household wastes". Secondly, it is normally used as a synonym of "house sewage", or "household wastewaters". The right term for this record is "household refuse". See "household wastes" and "household refuse" in Termium. 2, record 7, English, - Household%20Hazardous%20Waste%20Collection%20Day

Le ministère des Affaires communautaires et culturelles de l'Île-du-Prince-Edouard, avec l'aide d'Environnement Canada, organise pour le 4 juin 1988 une journée de cueillette des déchets domestiques dangereux. Il s'agit d'une des activités proposées dans le cadre de la Semaine nationale de l'environnement, afin de sensibiliser la population de l'Île aux problèmes de l'environnement. Des employés du Ministère ayant une formation en classification et en emballage des déchets dangereux trouveront aux cinq postes de cueillette qui seront établis dans l'Île pour l'occasion. Les habitants de l'Île seront invités par une campagne d'information à apporter leurs déchets dangereux au point de cueillette le plus proche, afin qu'ils soient éliminés de la façon appropriée. Les déchets seront triés; les matières recyclables seront récupérées, et les matières peu dangereuses, enfouies ou brûlées. Celles trop dangereuses pour être enfouies sur l'Île seront confiées à une firme d'élimination accréditée. 1, record 7, French, - journ%C3%A9e%20de%20cueillette%20des%20d%C3%A9chets%20domestiques%20dangereux

L'expression "cueillette des déchets" est à éviter et doit être remplacée par "ramassage des déchets" ou "collecte des déchets". Voir "refuse collection" dans Termium. Quant à "déchets domestiques", ce terme est trop restrictif. Il désigne les déchets qui proviennent des cuisines (en anglais : "kitchen wastes"). Il faut lui substituer "déchets ménagers" (voir cette fiche dans Termium). 2, record 7, French, - journ%C3%A9e%20de%20cueillette%20des%20d%C3%A9chets%20domestiques%20dangereux
