Alpharetta's eco-conscious residents are about to get their hands dirty in a good way. The city has announced a one-day recycling collection event specifically for household hazardous waste and leftover paint, aiming to help locals rid their garages and basements of these items without harming the environment. Slated for June 15, it's a neat play for anyone with old paint cans, expired chemicals, or any of the many other substances that can't be kicked to the curb on trash day.

The catch, however, is that pre-registration is a must, and you've got until June 10 to secure your slot. The event is residents-only, no Alpharetta businesses allowed, and there's a cap on participants. They're making it a smooth ride though—you pull up, stay in your car, and the pros will do the heavy lifting. With the City of Alpharetta's population boom, these kinds of events can get crowded. Remember that only items detailed on the official registration form will get the green light.

Wondering if your attic's vintage pesticides or the half-empty oil can from your last DIY tune-up make the list? If it's hazardous and household, chances are it does. Your best bet is to check out the City of Alpharetta's announcement. Late entries are a no-go, so don't drag your feet. Last year's turnout showed that Alpharetta folks are keen to keep it clean, and spots are likely to fill up fast.
