Fayette County residents can dispose of household materials such as paint and cleaners at the city’s fall Household Hazardous Waste collection on Saturday, Sept. 14. The collection event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1631 Old Frankfort Pike. Participants should enter via Jimmie Campbell Drive.
Household hazardous waste include paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, pesticides and more. Improper disposal of these chemicals can pollute air, water or soil and pose a threat to human health. Electronic waste items will also be collected at the event.
Event reminders:
- Participants should not arrive before 8:30 a.m.
- Materials should be loaded in your vehicle’s backseat, trunk or truck bed in boxes that you do not need back.
- Separate electronics from the rest of your household hazardous waste. These will be collected separately before the rest of your materials.
- Please pop the trunk when staff ask so they can unload materials. Remain in your vehicle at all times.
- Fill out the online survey before you come. No paper copies will be distributed or collected.
- Households only. No businesses, please.
