The City of Dryden and the Rotary Club are teaming up today (Saturday, September 7th) to offer Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day.
You can drop-off old and unwanted products at the Public Works Yard from 8:30am until 4:00pm.
Rotary member Roger Gould stresses it’s a free service and you don’t even have to leave your vehicle.
Gould notes volunteers will come to your vehicle and unload all items.
Hazardous products carry warning symbols indicating that they are flammable, corrosive, explosive, or poisonous.
Examples of items you can bring:
Pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, antifreeze, furniture polishes and waxes, wood preservatives, household cleaners, toilet and drain cleaners, acids, car batteries, metal polishers and cleaners, paint stripper, solvents, old paint, rust remover, acetylene, fluorescent light bulbs/tubes, batteries, mercury thermometers, hobby chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
You can also bring products that are now banned, such as DDT and 2, 4, 5 and -T.
Gould says PCB contaminated wastes, radioactive, pathological explosives or hazardous waste generated by commercial operations will not be accepted.
You are asked to keep individual products separated and all items should be labelled.
