If you’ve been hoarding old electronics and cardboard boxes for your next recycling run, heads up — you might need to rethink your drop-off location.

The Clarke Road South EnviroDepot at 28 Clarke Road is temporarily closing for construction starting Monday, April 14. Your spring cleaning plans aren’t dead though.

The City of London is opening a new temporary EnviroDepot site at 3544 Dingman Drive to pick up the slack. The timing works out since it’s the 30th London Clean and Green campaign, which encourages residents to responsibly dispose of waste.

EnviroDepots accept yard waste, recyclables, and certain waste items including old electronics, scrap metal, and extra-large cardboard. So yeah, that ancient printer can finally go.

If Clarke Road South was your go-to spot, you’ve got other options. The Oxford Street EnviroDepot (1450 Oxford Street West) and Clarke Road North EnviroDepot (21462 Clarke Road) are still operating with regular summer hours.

Here’s the catch — construction and renovation materials are ONLY accepted for a fee at the Oxford and Dingman locations. And if you’re trying to ditch large furniture or bulky items, those go to the W12A Landfill & EnviroDepot.

The Oxford Street and soon-to-be-closed Clarke Road South EnviroDepots are open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. during summer hours. They’re open on Easter Monday and Victoria Day but closed during other statutory holidays and Civic Holiday.

The Clarke Road North EnviroDepot has different hours: Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. It’s closed on Sundays, Civic Holiday, and all statutory holidays.
