Wayne County residents can help protect the environment by properly disposing of household hazardous waste at the Taylor (Wayne County Community College District-Taylor Campus) Household Hazardous Waste Collection event. Types of items collected for recycling and proper disposal are: flat screen monitors, household paints, medicine (non-controlled substances only), automotive batteries, and much more. Last year, more than 700,000 pounds of household hazardous waste was properly disposed or recycled through the program. This will be the last household hazardous waste collection of the year.
Waste must be from residential sources only. Acceptable items include: household paints, stains, floor-care items, furniture polish, bathroom cleaners, lawn and garden chemicals, antifreeze, fluorescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs, old computers and TVs(of any size). Pharmaceutical waste (non-controlled substances) and medical sharps in puncture-proof containers will also be accepted. Common items brought but not accepted include: CRT televisions, CRT monitors, and construction debris.
Microwaves are NOT accepted. If your microwave is working, donate it to a local service organization such as Salvation Army or Goodwill. Most community waste collections will take microwaves curbside in your regular trash collection. Call your local DPW or check their website to confirm.
