WHEN: Saturday, April 5th from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Households generate a wide range of poisonous, dangerous, flammable, and corrosive products, including lawn chemicals, solvents, household cleaners, and pool chemicals. These materials should not be tossed out with household garbage, but should be taken to a mobile collection event or SWACO’s HHW facility located at 645 East 8th Avenue in Columbus.

There will be three more community household hazardous waste collection events:

Saturday, June 28 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.- City of Gahanna, 1031 Challis Springs Dr.

Saturday, Sept. 27 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.- City of Grove City, 3226 Kingston Ave.
