Wayne County has released the schedule for the 2017 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program.

Construction debris or CRT TVs and monitors will not be accepted.
The program helps prevent chemicals from entering landfills and waterways. Last year, more than 900,000 pounds of hazardous waste was disposed or recycled through the program.
“This program gives everyone an opportunity to help safeguard the health and safety of our community by reducing the environmental impact of household hazardous waste,” said Wayne County Executive Warren C. Evans.
Wayne County residency will need to be shown with a valid driver’s license or tax bill.
