Changes to Household Hazardous Waste Program in 2010
The popular Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program will continue in 2010 with a few changes. The new contractor, Clean Harbors, will operate the drop-off at a new location: 4879 Spring Grove Avenue, Cincinnati, 45232. The program will run April 10th through October 16th and be open the same days and times as last year.

In order to reduce costs, the HHW program will no longer accept latex paint for drop-off. Latex paint is not hazardous and can be thrown away with the regular trash once solid. Instruct residents to dry the paint out with sand, sawdust, or kitty litter and leave the lid off so waste haulers can see that paint is dry. If the gallon is full, the can in good condition, and the label is unpainted, Building Value, a materials reuse store, may accept the paint as a donation. Residents should always call ahead before dropping off paint at Building Value (475-6783).
The HHW program will still accept oil and other non-latex paint. See below for a complete list of acceptable items:
Pesticides/Fertilizers
Solvents/Thinners
Lawn/Pool Chemicals
Cleaners
Household/ Auto Batters
Fire Extinguishers
Propane Tanks
Non-Latex Paint
Mercury
Fluorescent Bulbs
Driveway Sealer
Gasoline/ Motor Oil
Antifreeze
Thermostats
Please feel free to advertise the program in your newsletter or on your website. Link to the 2010 HHW Program website or instruct residents to call the Hamilton County Household Hazardous Waste Hotline at 946-7700.
