Central Park Recycling Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)

This proposal is for an amendment to Environmental Compliance Approval (waste disposal site) No. 3952-BAUPEG for the use and operation of an existing private waste transfer and waste processing facility, presently used for the processing and transfer of intact waste batteries, taking place inside a 1,900 square metres facility, located within a 11,500 square metres building at at 701 Brook Road North, Unit 8 in the Town of Cobourg, Ontario.

Intact waste batteries will continue to be received, sorted, and repacked and consolidated for shipment at the site. In addition, Nickel Cadmium Wet Cell batteries will continue to be screened, set aside, and disassembled into their component parts for other users.

Under this application, it is proposed that site operations include the storage and transfer of Municipal Hazardous or Special Wastes. The Municipal Hazardous or Special Wastes to be received will not be processed at the site; these materials will be transferred to offsite recycling facilities.

The total maximum amount of waste received at the site will be 120 tonnes per day, with a proposed maximum storage capacity increase to 1,200 tonnes at any one time. The site will service Canada and the United States of America, and will be operated 24 hours a day, Monday to Sunday. Shipping and receiving hours for the site will be from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
