The HHW collection facility will remain open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 am – 2 pm until further notice.  Extra precautions and restrictions are being implemented to protect residents and staff from COVID-19 when collecting HHW from participants. The material re-use store will remain closed to the public until further notice. Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQG) appointments, Oil Filter Events and Collection Events are being postponed until further notice.
