Household Hazardous Waste Collection - Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Parking Lot
The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio and local communities are sponsoring the Mobile Collections in response to a need for SAFE and CONVENIENT disposal for HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE.
Drive up to the Anthem parking lot on Oct. 4, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., to dispose of household waste in the Worthington area. Please note: This collection is for residential, not business, waste.
Household Hazardous Wastes are household products that can cause injury or are harmful if not used, stored, or disposed of properly. These chemicals pose a threat to people (particularly children, refuse workers and firemen) pets and our environment. Soil and water pollution can result from improper disposal of HHW.

For Your Information: If you have latex paint you can dry it up! Latex paint is water soluble and can be dried out converting it to a non-hazardous material. There are paint hardeners available in stores or you can mix the paint with cat litter or sawdust. Leave the lid off to speed up the process. When the paint is dry, throw it in with your regular trash
