Got old paint, household chemicals and cleaning supplies taking up space?

There are still plenty of time slots available for our free household hazardous waste event this Saturday (8/14) at the Bucks County Technical School in Fairless Hills – 610 Wistar Road.

The “get rid off”, festival begins at 9 am and you must register in order to drop off your old chemicals and cleaning supplies. You can do so by clicking here.

Household products containing toxic chemicals, like pesticides, oil-based paints, solvents, cleaning products, weed killers and automotive batteries can be a threat to people and the environment if improperly discarded. Never throw these materials into the trash, as the toxic chemicals may harm sanitation workers, or result in fires in collection vehicles. It is also not safe to pour them into a sink or storm drain as they can end up in the environment polluting the air, water, or soil.
