Household Chemicals and Electronics Collections Centers
Posted on Jan 10th, 2013
The curb, a community collection center, down the drain or on the ground are not places for chemical waste.
Chemicals that are improperly disposed of can release toxic fumes, cause fires, pose a health risk for residents and collectors, and contaminate the groundwater supply and the environment.
Do the right thing. Take these items to one of Hillsborough County’s Household Chemicals and Electronics Collections sites for safe disposal.
The chemical wastes accepted at the County’s Household Chemicals and Electronics Collections are disposed of only at sites approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In fact, most chemical waste is rendered harmless through treatment at disposal sites outside of Florida, or is recycled.
