Residents can dispose of household hazardous items safely on Saturday, July 13, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the ACUA Environmental Park located at 6700 Delilah Road in Egg Harbor Township.

Most Atlantic County residents have hazardous waste in their cabinets, basements, or garages but may not realize these items cannot go in their regular trash cans. Hazardous items include cleaning products, motor oils, weed killer, oil-based paints, auto care products, and items like rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Hazardous waste can pollute our local waterways and the environment. These items can also endanger sanitation workers or cause truck fires if placed in the trash.
