Summertime is prime for playing on the patio: grilling out, splashing in the pool, and sprucing up the landscaping.
Just keep in mind that
- Pool chemicals
- Pesticides, and
- Propane tanks
should never be placed in the garbage. Palm Beach County residents may bring these 3Ps to one of the SWA’s seven Home Chemical and Recycling Centers (HCRC) listed below, where they will be recycled or disposed of properly.
