Monroe County Department of Environmental Services, the towns of Ogden, Hamlin, Clarkson, Sweden, and Parma, and the villages of Hilton, Brockport and Spencerport are partnering to hold an appointment-only Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection at the Town of Ogden Highway Department, 2432 South Union Street, Spencerport, on Saturday, June 7, from 7:45 a.m. to noon.
Most HHW (paint, flammables and other chemicals from home-use) is safe when used and stored properly. When they become unwanted and are disposed of improperly, these household wastes can become environmental hazards.
This service is open to all Monroe County residents. Waste from businesses will not be accepted. To ensure safety and reduce waiting times, appointments are required at all HHW collections throughout the year. Appointments for this HHW collection can be made until June 6. To schedule an appointment go on-line to https://www.monroecounty.gov/ecopark
Up to 30 gallons of the following materials will be accepted per appointment at no charge:
•Oil-based and latex Paint (for 1/3-gallon or less of latex paint: discard lid, add kitty litter, let dry, place can in trash)
•Wood stain and preservatives
•Automotive fluids (antifreeze; brake, power steering and transmission fluids)
•Pesticides and fertilizers
•Flammable products (gasoline, kerosene, thinners, strippers, solvents)
•Household cleaners (liquid soaps & waxes, drain cleaners, etc.)
•Driveway sealer
•Pool and photo chemicals
•Rechargeable (Ni-Cad) and button batteries
•Mercury (thermometers, thermostats)
•Syringes/Sharps (safely packaged in a rigid plastic container)
