Posted

CANTON -- A free household hazardous waste collection will be held May 19 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the St. Lawrence County Human Services Building to help residents dispose of certain hazardous materials.

Items such as solvents, pesticides, fluorescent light tubes, pool chemicals, oil-based paints and aerosol cans that still have product in them will be accepted.

Empty aerosol cans, motor oil, asbestos, construction debris, explosives and latex paint will not be accepted.

If paint can be cleaned up with water it is not oil-based and should be dried up and disposed of in the regular trash.

Electronic waste (televisions, computers) will not be accepted, it can be recycled at most county transfer stations.

The collection events are open to residential households only; waste will not be accepted from businesses, schools, farms or municipalities.
