Multiple U.S. Counties Hold Household Hazardous Waste Collection May 31

Multiple counties across the U.S. are hosting household hazardous waste collection events on May 31 to help residents dispose of dangerous materials safely and responsibly. Kenosha County's event in Bristol will accept various hazardous wastes and e-waste but excludes items such as latex paint, tires, and medical waste; it also features a diaper drive benefiting foster families. Bucks County in Pennsylvania is holding a collection in Bedminster Township, accepting pesticides, oil-based paints, automotive products, and other hazardous household chemicals, while excluding electronics, medical waste, and large gas cylinders. Wood County's Clean Sweep program in Marshfield welcomes both farms and households to dispose of hazardous and agricultural waste, emphasizing safety for the environment and sanitation workers. Albuquerque, New Mexico, is also hosting a free event at Balloon Fiesta Park, allowing disposal of up to 55 gallons of hazardous waste including propane bottles, with a participation form recommended for faster processing. These coordinated efforts highlight community initiatives to reduce environmental hazards and promote proper waste management during a single-day collection drive.
