Household Hazardous Wastes - Drop Off Event!

Did you know you could have Hazardous Waste in your home? It's true! The average American has between 3 and 10 pounds of hazardous materials in their home at any given time, and Pennsylvanians generate an average of 25,000 tons of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) each year!

The Lehigh County Office of Solid Waste has a solution to help you properly dispose of your HHWs. They are conducting a free drop-off program for County residents on April 24, 2010 and the Lehigh County Authority Wastewater Plant in Fogelsville.

Two ways to participate:

1. Register online for an appointment to drop off your HHWs at the April 24 event, and take your materials directly to the drop-off site.

2. Bring your used batteries, thermometers, thermostats and fluorescent bulbs to the EAC's Earth Day event, and we will take them to the HHW drop-off program for you! event details
