REMINDER: HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE RECYCLING DAY
The Development
Authority of the North Country is reminding residents who have items that
can’t be thrown away in regular trash that they will be able to dispose of
them this Saturday free of charge in Lowville.
For the past
fifteen years, the Development Authority of the North Country has partnered
with Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence Counties and the NYS Department of
Environmental Conservation to host Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Days.
These free recycling events provide the opportunity for residents of the
tri-county region the chance to safely dispose of
hazardous items like paints, chemicals, pesticides, among others.
The details for this Saturday’s free event in Lewis County are as
follows:
WHERE: 5481 Bostwick Street, Lowville, NY
13367 (Town of Lowville Highway Garage)
WHEN: Saturday, August 29th from 8am-12pm
“The Development
Authority’s free Household Hazardous Waste Days serve as the perfect
opportunity to safely dispose of items you simply cannot toss in regular
trash, such as fluorescent light tubes, pool chemicals or other items that
have been sitting in a garage or basement,” said Shawn Thornton, Materials
Management Director for the Development Authority of the North Country.
“The Authority is proud to collaborate with our Jefferson, Lewis and St.
Lawrence County partners and the NYSDEC to host these no-cost recycling
days. Doing your part to safeguard the environment is easy, and the
Development Authority is happy to help achieve that goal.”
HHW events at
SUNY Canton and in Watertown already occurred in May and June. To date, 546
households have participated and more than 99,000
pounds of hazardous waste has been collected.
