Household Hazardous Waste Event

Jump to calendar

Bucks County will be holding a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection event on Saturday, August 10th, at Bensalem High School (4319 Hulmeville Road, Bensalem, PA 19020). The event will be held from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM and is free for all Bucks County residents. No registration is required.

 

Household products containing toxic chemicals, like pesticides, oil-based paints, solvents, cleaning products, weed killers and automotive batteries can be a threat to people and the environment if improperly discarded. Never throw these materials into the trash, as the toxic chemicals may harm sanitation workers, or result in fires in collection vehicles. It is also not safe to pour them into a sink or storm drain as they can end up in the environment polluting the air, water, or soil.

 

Residents may bring up to 25 gallons or 220 pounds of hazardous products. Hazardous products will have cautionary words on labels for example: Danger, Warning, or Caution.
