Hurricane season is starts June 1, and many of our Palm Beach County neighbors are making sure they are prepared. As you replace your hurricane supplies, keep in mind that some items may not be placed in the garbage but instead, should be brought to one of the SWA’s Home Chemical and Recycling Centers. (Commercial disposal brings special guidelines. Call 561-687-1100 to learn more.)
Supplies requiring special disposal include:
- gasoline and used oil from generators
- old propane tanks
- rechargeable batteries from electronics or flashlights
These items (and other home hazards) can be dropped off for free to any of the centers listed below, where they will be recycled or disposed of properly.
