(September 19 , 2005) - Anne Arundel County residents can drop off unwanted, household hazardous products, such as oven cleaner or pesticides, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 15th at the Millersville Landfill and Resource Recovery Facility, 389 Burns Crossing Road, Severn. The service is one of two remaining Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off Days for the year. Each year the Department of Public Works holds eight drop-off days. The last drop-off day for the year will be held on Saturday, November 19th at the Glen Burnie Convenience Center and is being held in conjunction with the County’s eCycling (computer recycling) drop-off day. All drop off programs are held from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The 2006 schedule has not yet been determined. Drop-off days are expected to resume in March 2006. Residents are reminded that the best practice is to use up chemicals, pesticides and other household products entirely for their intended use. If a product cannot be used in full, then the County’s program is the next best alternative. Products containing toxic chemicals include: oven cleaners, wood preservatives, pesticides, flammable liquids, oil-based paint, fluorescent light fixtures, non-alkaline batteries, and disinfectants. This service is free and available to Anne Arundel County residents only. Over half of the material accepted is recycled. The remainder is disposed at a properly licensed facility. For more information please call (410) 222-7951 or visit the Department of Public Works website. |
