Recycle Household Hazardous Waste On June 10 In Roswell

ROSWELL, GA -- If you are among the scores of procrastinators who have yet to start your spring cleaning ritual, the city of Roswell will provide you with a unique opportunity to embark on that task.

The city will host a Household Hazardous Waste Collection event from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 10 at its Public Works/Transportation/Fire facilities.

The event is for Roswell residents only; no commercial entities will be allowed to participate. Residents can drop off various items at 1810 Hembree Road, including:

• Paint thinner/turpentine
• Pesticides including: fertilizers, herbicides, flea and tick products, fungicides, insecticides, rodenticides
• Undiluted pool chemicals
• Household cleaners
• Fluorescent bulbs
• Propane gas cylinders
• Mercury thermometers/thermostats
• Household batteries (non-rechargeable)
• Aerosols including aerosol paint
• Automotive brake fluid/used motor oil filters (no other automotive fluids)

No latex or oil-based paint will be accepted, as residents can drop off those items at the Roswell Recycling Center.

The CARE Environmental Corporation will be handling and disposing of the materials. Materials cannot be dropped off prior to the event. For more information, contact Janet Liberman at jliberman@roswellgov.com or 770-641-3961.
