Residents of Boone, Kenton, and Campbell Counties in Northern Kentucky can participate in a household hazardous waste collection event on April 11, 2024. This pop-up event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at Frederick’s Landing Park in Wilder. The initiative aims to provide a safe disposal option for hazardous materials, promoting environmental health in the community.
The collection will accept various items, including electronics—limited to two televisions—along with aerosol cans, household cleaners, pesticides, poisons, corrosives, flammables, fuels, cylinders, tanks, smoke detectors, and light bulbs. This effort is crucial for reducing the risks associated with improper disposal of hazardous materials.
However, certain items will not be accepted during the event. Residents should refrain from bringing paint, appliances, fertilizers, medications, tires, ammunition, explosives, radioactive materials, trash, debris, furniture, or mattresses. This restriction ensures that the collection remains focused on hazardous waste, facilitating efficient processing and disposal.
Local authorities encourage residents to take advantage of this opportunity to dispose of hazardous waste responsibly.
