[ARCHIVED] Properly Dispose of Forgotten Chemicals from Your Garage, Shed or Under Your Sink

SWA’s March Household Hazardous Waste Tip

Spring has finally arrived, and for many Palm Beach County Residents that means beginning the annual Spring Cleaning… time to clean out your garage, your shed, and under your sink.

Many chemicals used in the home like cleaners, paints, pesticides and automotive products may be hazardous to people, pets or our environment. These should not be thrown in the regular trash or dumped in sewers or storm drains.

Unwanted chemicals can be disposed of for FREE at 1 of the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County’s 7 Home Chemical and Recycling Facilities:
