We know these shouldn\u2019t go to the landfill or down a storm drain because their toxins are not suitable for the environment and our waterways. They also pose a threat to our home. That\u2019s why the City\u2019s Solid Waste Department is teaming with the Allen County Department of Environmental Management (ACDEM) to help you eliminate corrosive, toxic, and even ignitable chemicals on August 15, 2020, at Tox-Away Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>From 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. this Saturday, residents can bring these products to the Allen County household hazardous waste facility at 2260 Carroll Road for disposal. The Solid Waste Department covers most of the cost of proper disposal with a small fee charged to those bringing in the products for disposal. <\/p>\n<p>Residents will need to bring cash to cover the disposal costs. Credit cards will not be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>For the protection of residents and workers, this is a drive-thru event only. Residents will pull up, and staff members with personal protective gloves and masks will take disposables and cash without anyone getting out of their vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>This week marks the third Tox-Away Saturday for this year. In the first two collection days, residents disposed of 11,518 pounds of household hazardous waste, including more than 1,600 gallons of latex paint, 550 lightbulbs and 350 pounds of batteries. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Tox-Away Saturday Dates<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>August 15, 2020<\/li>\n<li>September 19, 2020<\/li>\n<li>October 10, 2020<\/li>\n<li>November 14, 2020<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Typical items for disposal include:<\/p>\n<p>*Automotive products<br \/>\n*Batteries<br \/>\n*Fertilizers<br \/>\n*Fire extinguishers<br \/>\n*Fluorescent light bulbs<br \/>\n*Herbicides<br \/>\n*Household cleaners<br \/>\n*Mercury<br \/>\n*Paint<br \/>\n*Pesticides<br \/>\n*Pool chemicals<br \/>\n*Propane tanks<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fees by item<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Household Hazardous Waste<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>o 0-25 pounds = $5<br \/>\no 26-50 pounds = $10<br \/>\no Over 51 pounds = $1 per pound<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other items<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Auto, ATV, Mower Battery: $2 a piece<br \/>\n\u2022 Fire Extinguisher: $2 per item<br \/>\n\u2022 Latex Paint: $1 per quart, $2 per gallo<br \/>\n\u2022 Propane Tank: $1 per pound<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fluorescent 4 and 8 foot bulbs<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>o 1-10 = $1<br \/>\no 11-20 = $2<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/acwastewatcher.org\/programs\/household-hazardous-waste-disposal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/acwastewatcher.org\/programs\/household-hazardous-waste-disposal<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='636c7e2aaf5ab1767d34a468006d27b8' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
