Weekly Household Hazardous Waste Collection begins January 8

The City of Heath’s new weekly “front porch pickup” by HHW Solutions begins January 8! Items collected include paint,  motor oil, batteries, insecticides, fertilizers, pool chemicals and other household materials. These items are not accepted by regular trash collection services and are prohibited in landfills.

In addition to collecting household hazardous wastes, citizens can also set out up to 50 pounds of electronic items to be recycled.

The cost for this new service is 56 cents per household per month to residents. You do not have to be home to have items collected.

HHW Solutions will also sponsor an annual paper shredding event, where you can bring items to a central location for shredding. Shredded paper will then be recycled.
