Mark your calendars and clear out your garages, folks. Washington County is rolling up its sleeves once more to help you responsibly get rid of household hazardous waste and outdated electronics. The county has set up a collection event at Mahtomedi Middle School for Saturday, April 26, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., located at 8100 75th Street North, as per an announcement on the official county website.
At this event, you can also safely shred that stack of confidential documents that's been collecting dust.
The county emphasizes convenience and environmental stewardship, drawing resources closer to the heartbeat of the community. According to the official announcement, this center remains a hub for disposal needs throughout the year.
Furthermore, the centers don't stop at just accepting refuse. It houses a Free Product Room—an emporium of sorts where the adage 'one person's trash is another's treasure' comes to life. Here, you can discover and take home various usable items like paint, cleaners, and automotive supplies, giving them a second lease on life and reducing waste in the process.
Residents looking to learn more about this and other recycling opportunities can find additional details at Washington County's official website.
