Chautauqua County Holding Household
Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day Saturday
MAYVILLE, NY -- Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards has announced that the first Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day of 2010 will be held this Saturday, July 10th in the Village of Mayville.
The event is being hosted by Chautauqua County's Division of Solid Waste, and will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Town of Chautauqua Highway Garage located on Patterson Street in Mayville.
Edwards said thousands of pounds of hazardous materials have been dropped off by County residents over the years during prior events.
Among some of the items that will be accepted are varnishes, pool chemicals, alkaline batteries, and obsolete or damaged household electronics.
Waste motor oil will not be accepted, and should be disposed of at any facility performing oil changes. Also, latex paint will not be taken, and should be dried by mixing it with kitty litter or paint drying crystals and disposed of with household garbage.
“Each year, this free disposal day has been an overwhelming success," Edwards said. “I commend the County staff that work hard to put this program together. I encourage everyone to help the environment by taking full advantage of this program.”
A second Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day has been scheduled for Saturday, September 11th at the County Department of Public Facilities on North Work Street in Falconer.
For more information, please call 1-800-835-9362 or 985-4785.
