HARRIS COUNTY HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE (HHW) COLLECTION EVENT
Harris County will be hosting several FREE Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection events this fall.
The first HHW Collection event is scheduled for Saturday, September 27, 2008 at the Harris County Annex 13 & Sports Complex located at 17423 Katy Freeway (enter via barker Clodine) from 8 AM to 2 PM only. We will also be taking tires, electronics and paper/aluminum cans/ plastics at this event.
The second HHW collection event is scheduled for Saturday, November 15, 2008 at the Sam Houston Race Park (enter via Fallbrook) in the overflow parking lot located at 7575 N. Sam Houston Parkway West from 8 AM to 2 PM. We will also be taking tires, electronics, and paper/ aluminum cans/plastics at this event.
We will also be conducting smaller HazMobile collection events in other areas of the County on October 11th and November 1st. Please go to www.CleanWaterways.org for these collection locations and times. We will not accept tires, electronics, and paper/ aluminum cans/plastics at these events.
These events give residents a chance to clean out their garages while helping the environment at the same time. By bringing unwanted and out-of-date hazardous products to an event, citizens ensure the items will be properly disposed. In addition, participants will receive information on less toxic alternatives to common hazardous household products and can also shop for FREE items at the reusable products booth! For more information, contact Cheryl Burton-Fentress, Harris County Program Manager, at (713) 290-3000 or [email protected] OR visit www.CleanWaterways.org.
