Why have a collection for Household Hazardous Waste?

Many household items contain hazardous substances that pose health and environmental risk. These substances can leach into the ground water if poured down the drain, thrown in the trash or dumped directly onto the ground. At our collection day. hazardous household products will be sorted by category, properly packed in drums by a licensed hauler, and disposed of by the method appropriate to the category. The expense of holding a collection day is considerable, please discriminate about what you bring to be packed and hauled away.
