On September 17, at Heartland Community College, the Ecology Action Center will host the 2022 McLean County Household Hazardous Waster Collection.
Residents of Illinois can dispose of dangerous, flammable, corrosive, reactive, and explosive household products and chemicals during this event.
If not properly disposed of, these wastes can pose a major risk to the environment and water systems.
Household hazardous waste is not accepted curbside or at the Citizen Convenience Center in Bloomington.
All Illinois residents are welcome to attend the event for free, however in order to manage traffic and avoid long delays, attendees must make appointments in advance.
The appointment deadline is September 16 at noon.
You can make an appointment at www.hhwmclean.org.
