Household Hazardous Products Information

Note to self: Long lines at the collection are a product of participants not auditing what they bring. Please review your stash of hazardous products-some may be less hazardous than you think. Review the list of "What not to accept," which is enclosed. Lines at the collection move right along when you do your bit. Thank you.
