HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
2010 EVENT DATES: 6/5/10 & 11/6/10
The SCMUA conducts two household hazardous waste events annually, usually in the spring and fall. This program is available to Sussex County residents, local school districts, municipalities and county agencies.
The SCMUA conducts these special events because it removes from the waste stream pollutants and toxins that would otherwise find their way into landfill and the leachate generated.
YOU MAY BRING UP TO 100 POUNDS OF DRY HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE MATERIALS AND/OR 10 GALLONS OF LIQUID WASTE - FREE OF CHARGE ON THE ABOVE DATES ONLY.
YOU MAY BRING ON HHW DAY ONLY |
