A Household Hazardous Waste Roundup will be held in Veneta on October 31 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lane County Maintenance Shops, 25398 Jeans Road.
The collection is free for hazardous waste that is from household sources, up to 35 gallons total per customer. Hazardous waste from businesses, schools, churches or non-profit organizations may be subject to disposal fees.
All community members are welcome to participate in the roundup.
Here are more details about the roundup and hazardous waste recycling in Lane County:
- What can I bring to the roundup?
Paint, household cleaners, lawn and garden chemicals, car care products, arts and crafts products, and other household hazardous waste. Check labels for words like flammable, corrosive, poison, caution, and danger. - Are there any items that I can’t bring to the roundup?
Empty containers, radioactive waste, asbestos or explosives. Any empty containers can be safely thrown in the trash. For information about disposal of radioactive waste, asbestos and explosives, call 541.682.4120. - What about hazardous waste from businesses?
Businesses that generate small amounts of hazardous waste may pre-register to bring that waste to this event. Businesses must pay for disposal of the waste, but most can save money by using this program, rather than hiring a contractor on their own. - What about electronics recycling?
The Glenwood, Cottage Grove, Florence, Veneta and Vida transfer sites accept the following items for FREE during normal operating hours (maximum of seven items at a time): Televisions, computer monitors, CPUs and laptops. Appointments are required and fees may apply for more than seven items. Call 541.682.3111 for an appointment. There is a $35 charge for large copy or printing machines, as well as large floor standing electronics. - What if I can’t make it to the roundup?
Lane County has a permanent household hazardous waste collection facility located at the Central Receiving Station in Glenwood. It’s open year round. Call 541.682.4120 for more information.
