Most households have hazardous waste materials that cannot legally be disposed with regular trash because they can cause injury or are harmful if not used, stored, or disposed properly. Items such as paint, lighter fluid, gasoline, paint thinner, kerosene, polishes, adhesives, pool chemicals, acids, drain cleaner, paint stripper, antifreeze, insecticides, rat poison, mercury/Ni-cad and lithium batteries should be disposed of at a household hazardous waste collection.
For alternative ways to dispose of latex paint, consult www.swacopaint.org.
The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) sponsors periodic collections. The 2007 collections will be held on Saturdays from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m.
The HHW drive is for residents only. No materials from businesses will be accepted. If your business has hazardous waste materials to dispose, please call the Ohio EPA (614) 728-3778.
