ne of the requests I received about my Italian Bread Soup was for a vegetarian version, and it is with this column I am happy to oblige. Now let’s be honest: I can’t think of anything vegetarian that would replicate the flavour of sausage, but I guess if you are vegetarian you more than likely don’t want that flavour anyway. This recipe otherwise is very reminiscent to the original one. This recipe is easy and screams “classic Italian.” Vegetarian or not, I think this finished dish at your next dinner party will be a splash. > More at langleyadvance.com
There are two upcoming programs to help people tidy up. HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Langley Township has a hazardous household materials disposal event and starting this year Langley City residents can take part as well. Residents have the opportunity to drop off hazardous waste items, small appliances, and more Oct. 17 and 18 at the Township Operations Centre, 4700 224th St. Collection starts at 8:30 a.m. both days and runs until 4 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on the Sunday. There’s a list of accepted materials that includes household chemicals (bleach, toilet bowl cleaner, oven cleaner, etc.), shop items like furniture stripper, paint and thinners/solvents as well as items like burned out fluorescent tubes and bulbs, electronics, empty propane tanks, batteries, and antifreeze. People can also turn in small appliances, smoke detectors, mercury thermostats and other household items. Proof of residency is required in either the Township or the City in order to drop off items and people can only drop off household
quantities. Industrial or business quantities must have other arrangements. This two-day event does not include items that are part of normal curbside recycling and greenwaste programs by the Township or City. Those unable to get their items to the event can find out how to recycle or dispose of them. Check out the Recycling Council of B.C. website at rcbc.ca/ recyclepedia or call the Recycling Hotline at 604-RECYCLE (604732-9253).
Neighbourhood tidy The leaves are changing colours, a chill is in the air – fall is here and it is the perfect time to pitch in and clean up around the neighbourhood. Langley Township’sfourth annual Fall Clean Up Langley Days will be held on Friday, Oct. 23 from noon to 5 p.m. and on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. “Everyone has been very enthusiastic, so this time we are holding the event over two days. We hope also having it on a Friday will give businesses and schools a better opportunity and more convenient time to participate. All volunteers are welcome to sign up for either day,” said Amanda Connolly of the Township’s Strategic Initiatives Department.
Committing to our planet’s future means properly recycling our electronics of the past. That’s why the EPRA works to keep over 15 million devices out of Canadian landfills every year through convenient and regulated e-recycling programs. Plus, recovered materials go back into the manufacturing supply chain so that fewer natural resources are required. Find out how to safely and securely recycle your electronics now. Nature’s warranty is counting on it. Learn more about the electronics recycling program at:

This program is funded through Environmental Handling Fees that are applicable to new electronics sold in the province.
