Household Hazardous Waste collection for Monroe County residents October 16

The Town of Greece is partnering with Monroe County’s Department of Environmental Services to hold an appointment-only Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection at the Town of Greece Highway Garage, 647 Long Pond Road, on Saturday, October 16, from 7:45 a.m. to noon.

Most HHW (paint, flammables, cleaners, 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.

To ensure safety and reduce waiting times, appointments are required at all HHW collections. Appointments for this HHW collection will be accepted until October 15.  Go to http://www.monroecounty.gov/ecopark to schedule an appointment and see the list of accepted materials. This HHW collection is open to all Monroe County residents. Waste from businesses will not be accepted.

For residents who are unable to take advantage of this one day HHW collection, the county offers other collections throughout the year. For more information or for business waste disposal options go to http://www.monroecounty.gov/ecopark.
