A series of round-up's hosted by the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission are being hailed a success.
Staff from the facility set-up in neighbourhood parking lots around Greater Saint John over a span of eight days to take old paint, batteries, motor oil and aerosols.
Spokes-person Brenda MacCallum tells CHSJ News, the response was phenominal especially in the Kennebecasis Valley where 4340 vehicles were serviced with many leaving because of the two hour wait.
MacCallum says over the eight day period there were 1200 vehicles in total, 35,000 litres of paint, 6000 litres of motor oil and more than 400 old computers just to name a few.
The round-ups will return next fall.
