May 2: Household Hazardous Waste Round-Up on Lopez!

Hey, Lopez — don't forget! This year's Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Round-Up is taking place Saturday, May 2, from 10am to 2pm.

Every year, San Juan County hosts one HHW Round-Up on Lopez. Residential households can bring up to 25 gallons of qualifying hazardous wastes for free, safe, and legal disposal!

WHAT YOU CAN BRING:

• Pesticides, fungicides, and other poisons

• Gasoline and other used fuels

• Wood preservatives

• Solvents and thinners

• Pool and photo chemicals

• Resins

• Corrosives, degreasers, cleaning products

• Mercury

• Spent fluorescent bulbs and tubes

• Rechargeable batteries

• Small camping-style propane cylinders

• Aerosols

Paints can be disposed of at a HHW Round-Up, however — customers are encouraged to bring them to the Lopez Dump on Sundays for recycling through the PaintCare program.

Please DO NOT BRING any of these:

• Flares, explosives, or ammunition — please call the Sheriff's Office: 360-378-4151.

• Antifreeze/coolant or motor oil, unless contaminated with other fluids/fuels

• Vehicle batteries — we can recycle these at the Lopez Dump!

• Large, BBQ-style propane tanks — recycle these at the Lopez Dump for a charge.

• Household trash — the Lopez Dump will be open at 11am. If you want to bring both hazardous waste and regular garbage, please wait until 11am!

Children/pets will not be permitted outside of vehicles!
