Lake County Solid Waste is encouraging Lake County residents to dispose of household hazardous waste in a safe and environmentally conscious way at an upcoming collection event in Clermont. The county’s Household Hazardous Waste Mobile Unit will be collecting items at the following location in South Lake County:
| Thursday, May 3 from 9 a.m. – noon Lowe’s Parking Lot 1501 Sandy Grove Avenue |
Staff will be offering convenient drive-through disposal so residents don’t have to leave their vehicles, and will be on-hand to collect small quantities of waste products such as lawn and gardening materials, photo and swimming pool chemicals, paint and related products, cleaning solutions, motor oil and gas, batteries, fluorescent lamps, light bulbs and small propane tanks. Materials such as infectious waste, solvents, chemical laboratory waste and radioactive waste are prohibited.
Excessive amounts of hazardous materials will not be accepted due to limited space in the mobile unit. If residents have large quantities of items to dispose of, a special drop-off can be scheduled at the Central Solid Waste Facility, 13130 County Landfill Road, Tavares, by calling 352-343-3776.
The collection events are open to Lake County residents only.
