Recycle Utah will hold another Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day for Summit County on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Canyons Cabriolet parking lot. “One of our primary goals is to keep toxic chemicals and heavy metals out of our environment” reads the event listing. “When toxic materials like mercury, lead, and pesticides end up in the landfill they leach into the ground and your drinking water.”The collection is for Summit County residents only, the listing said, and that means individuals, not businesses, “and yes, we can tell if you’re a business!” the page reads. Accepted items include: Paints, varnishes, solvents
Motor oil, antifreeze
All types of batteries
Gasoline
Household cleaners
Fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides
Pool and spa chemicals

Electronic waste: computers, monitors, TVs, cell phones, laptops, cables (must be able to carry TVs using 1 person only)
All mercury-containing items

Mattresses (for $20/item fee)Bikes are also accepted, and they will either be sold to fund the collective’s charitable programs or donated to adults and children in need. All unusable pieces will be recycled.The post The next Hazardous Waste Collection Day is Sept. 28 appeared first on Park Record.
