If you have paint, flammables, or lawn care products that you’ve been wanting to dispose of safely but couldn’t during the pandemic, DeKalb County is providing that opportunity next month.
After a two-year hiatus, the DeKalb County Sanitation Division will host its household hazardous waste recycling event Saturday, March 12, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Sanitation Division’s Central Transfer Station at 3720 Leroy Scott Drive in Decatur.
During the event, county residents will have an opportunity to properly dispose of dangerous household items that are no longer in use.
Hazardous materials, such as aerosols, batteries, adhesives, flammables, lawn care products, fluorescent light bulbs, photo chemicals, paint, paint-related products and artist supplies, will be accepted. Paint will be limited to 10 gallons per vehicle.
