District Wraps up Free Programs in 2008

The District offers three free drop-off programs where Hamilton County residents can recycle or safely dispose of household hazardous waste, computers, and yardwaste. Keep your residents informed that these programs will close over the next few months so they are not stuck with items until the programs open again next year.

Household Hazardous Waste
Closing a month later this year on November 22, 2008, residents can drop off their household hazardous waste for free at two locations:
   The southern location at 4650 Spring Grove Avenue is open Tuesdays from 2pm to
       6pm and Saturdays from 9am to 1pm.
   The northern location at 10163 Cincinnati-Dayton Road in Sharonville is open on
       Wednesdays from 2pm to 6pm.

Residents can drop off paint, pesticides, fertilizers, automotive fluids and more. The program will run through November 22, 2008. Click here or call (513) 946-7700 for more information.
