DeKalb County is rolling up its sleeves for another round of toxin wrangling with its spring household hazardous waste recycling event slated for March 15. According to a recent announcement by the DeKalb County Sanitation Division, the event will be offering a hazard-free haven from 8 a.m. to noon for locals looking to safely eject their domestic dangers.
Residents can kiss goodbye to a plethora of pesky products including aerosols, batteries, adhesives, all things flammable, as well as lawn care products, among others. A note of caution though, there’s a cap on good intentions with paint drop-offs being limited to 10 gallons per vehicle. The disposal dance isn't open for all comers; agricultural wastes, ammunition, radioactive junk, pharmaceuticals, and any biohazards need not apply.
DeKalb’s eco-conscious citizens won’t need to dig deep into their pockets for this clean-out affair. If the proof of their residence in the county backs up their intentions, they can join in on this waste purge free of charge. That said, service with a smile may require ID checks at the gates of the Sanitation Division's Central Transfer Station located at 3720 Leroy Scott Drive, Decatur, GA 30032.
For those scratching their heads about the specifics or needing a bit more info before trucking their toxic troves, help is but a call away.
