FREE HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL EVENT - SATURDAY MAY 4th
The York County Solid Waste Authority will hold a FREE residential Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program on Saturday, May 4 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the parking lot of Woodland View York, LP located at 915 Woodland View Drive in Manchester Township. Residents who bring in a mercury-containing device such as a thermostat, thermometer or elemental mercury will receive a $5 gift card for Lowe’s.
Household hazardous waste includes any products from the home that are corrosive (drain cleaners or bleach), flammable (gasoline), reactive (chemistry kits) or toxic (pesticides).
All York County homeowners or residential tenants are eligible to bring their household hazardous waste to the collection site. There is no fee to participate. Business and government entities are not eligible to participate.
Examples of items accepted include: thermometers containing mercury, liquid mercury, auto products (transmission and brake fluids, antifreeze, batteries), pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fluorescent light bulbs, gasoline, kerosene, rechargeable batteries-- Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-ion), and Small Sealed Lead (Pb), photographic and pool chemicals, driveway sealant, and household cleansers (oven, drain, etc.).
Please do not bring paint or other paint-related products including latex and oil-based paint, turpentine, paint thinners, varnish, and paint strippers or removers. These items can be placed in your regular garbage for pick-up. Containers should be sealed tightly to prevent spillage. Also, DO NOT bring alkaline batteries (i.e.: AAA’s, AA’s, C’s, D’s, etc.), explosives, ammunition, propane tanks, or medications. Dispose of alkaline batteries in your regular garbage.
