Residents should be advised that this event is solely for personal household waste and is not open to companies.
What to dispose of
The collecting event will take a broad spectrum of household hazardous garbage. Among the goods received are paints, associated solvents, outdated fuel, and a multitude of household, auto, and garden chemicals including poisons. To help with proper identification and handling of the products and prevent mishaps, participants are urged to make sure all things are in their original containers.
Registration requirements
To provide a regulated and safe atmosphere for those engaged, participation in the collecting event needs prior registration. Registration has a Monday, November 11, 2024 deadline.
