Household Hazardous Waste Events are held twice a year - once in the Spring and once in the Fall.  Be sure to check often to learn when the next one will be held. 

Next Event:        Saturday, November 8th  8:00 am - 12:00 noon

Proper disposal of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is one way you can help keep our environment and water supply healthy. If not properly disposed of, HHW can have an adverse impact on the environment, even finding their way into our water and food supply.   We look forward to seeing you at our event.
