The Rockingham County Landfill (813 Greendale Road) is hosting a Hazardous Waste Collection Day two weeks from today on Saturday, October 10, 8:00 am – 12:00 noon. This is a great opportunity to safely dispose of those items that should not go into the weekly trash collection.
Accepted household hazardous waste products include oil-based paint, solvents, spent fuel, motor oil, syringes and needles, pesticides, herbicides, lead acid, NiMH, Li-ion, and NiCd batteries, fluorescent lights, antifreeze, and cleaners. Please bring materials in original containers when possible. Collection is limited to 5 units per household per event, therefore we encourage consolidation.
Materials must be labeled and in their original containers.
No containers over five gallons in size.
No chlorinated solvents (methylene chloride).
No regular recyclables. Recyclables can be brought to the Mobile Recycling Unit or to the Recycling Convenience Center.
