What to bring:
Bring paint, household cleaners, lawn and garden chemicals, car care products, arts and crafts products, and just about any other household hazardous waste. Check labels for words like flammable, corrosive, poison, caution, and danger.
Don't bring:
Empty containers, radioactive waste, asbestos or explosives. Any empty containers can be safely thrown in the trash. For information about disposal of radioactive waste, asbestos and explosives, call Lane County Waste Management Division at 682-3828. Also, Lane County accepts sharps, oil, antifreeze, and batteries of all types year-round at all refuse disposal sites. Call 682-4120 for more information.
What about hazardous waste from businesses?
Businesses which generate small amounts of hazardous waste may pre-register to bring that waste to this event. Businesses must pay for disposal of the waste, but most can save money by using this program, rather than hiring a contractor on their own. For more information about this program, call Lane County Waste Management Division at 682-4120.
What about Latex Paint?
Latex paint is the most common item received at Hazardous Waste Roundups – but it isn’t a hazardous waste! Buy only what you need, use up leftover paint, offer it to friends or neighbor.
What About Electronic Waste?
The Glenwood, Cottage Grove, Florence, Veneta and Vida transfer sites accept the following items for free during normal operating hours (maximum of seven items at a time): televisions, computer monitors, CPU’s and laptops. Appointments are required for more than seven items; call 682-3111 for an appointment. Other items also accepted include VCR’s, cell phones, telephones, DVD players, printers, typewriters, fax machines and video game systems. There is a $35.00 charge for large copy or printing machines.
For more information call 541 997-8237
