Hazardous materials disposal in Pinellas County
May 20, 2015
You spend an entire afternoon cleaning out your garage or storage shed, tidying things up, making a few repairs around the house, and throwing junk garbage into the curbside pickup bin. After a few hours, that bin is more than full, so you start bagging what’s left over. Before you’re done, though, there’s entire shelves of paint, thinner, and lacquer cans, and it’s the last bulk trash to go. Now out of bags to wrap those cans up, you’re simply too tired and ready to be done to run up to the store to get more lawn bags and decide to just stack those cans up by the curb. Trash day comes and goes, but the paint, thinner, and lacquer remain. Identifying Hazardous Materials
The reason you’re local trash collection didn’t collect those cans is because that stuff isn’t considered household waste. Those things are hazardous materials and won’t be thrown into the garbage truck because they are toxic. You’ve just learned that not all trash is equal and there it will stay until you properly dispose of it. Pinellas County Utilities operates the Household Electronics and Chemical Collection Center (HEC3) as a permanent disposal location for hazardous household waste. Pinellas County residents are invited to bring their unwanted electronics and chemicals to the center. —
