The county’s Household Hazardous Waste Mobile Unit will be available from 9 a.m. - noon on Thursday, Nov. 20 in the Ace Hardware parking lot, located at 1007 State Road 50, Groveland. Representatives will be on-hand to collect small quantities of unused or unwanted waste products such as lawn and gardening materials, photo and swimming pool chemicals, paint and related products, cleaning solutions, motor oil and used gas, batteries, fluorescent lamps, light bulbs and small propane tanks. The staff at the event will be offering convenient drive-thru disposal of items so residents won’t have to leave their vehicles. Materials such as infectious waste, solvents, chemical laboratory waste and radioactive waste are prohibited. Excessive amounts of hazardous materials will not be accepted due to limited space in the mobile unit.
