Is your shed shrouded in shellac? Do you have harsh cleaners hiding under your sink? Are gallons of gasoline gathering in your garage?
Maybe it's time for a little spring cleaning! Improper disposal of hazardous items can expose people, pets and our environment to harmful chemicals. The regular trash or being dumped down sewers or storm drains are not the places for cleaners, paints, pesticides and automotive products.
Instead, Palm Beach County residents can dispose of unwanted chemicals at any of the SWA's seven convenient drop-off locations for FREE!
