Alpharetta residents have an opportunity to declutter their garages and safely dispose of hazardous wastes, as the city hosts a dedicated collection event for items like old paint, gasoline, and various household chemicals. According to the city's official announcement, the one-time event is scheduled for Saturday, November 16, and is strictly available to those living within the city.
Those looking to participate must pre-register by the deadline on November 11, as detailed on the city's website; it's a key step to secure a spot in what's expected to be a popular event, designed to handle a variety of common but potentially dangerous items that shouldn't be left lying around or tossed in the trash. On the day of the event which runs from 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. participants must remain in their vehicles, as the setup is designed for efficiency and safety, with trained personnel unloading the items directly.
Residents are urged to keep all substances in their original containers, if possible, and ensure they're properly sealed for transport to avoid any mishaps, "Bring your confirmation form with your items on November 16, 2024," states the city's directions for the day of the event.
