Save your shelf this spring by cleaning out home hazards from sheds, garages and under sinks! But remember that any cleaners, paints, pesticides and automotive products you may want to get rid of don’t belong in the regular trash, recycle bins, or down storm drains where they can expose people, pets and our environment to harm.
Instead, Palm Beach County residents can dispose of their unwanted spring cleaning chemicals at any of the SWA's seven Home Chemical and Recycling Center drop-off locations for FREE!
