Household Hazardous Waste Collection Planned in Lee - July 01, 2008
LEE - On Saturday, July 12, the Center for Ecological Technology (CET) will conduct a comprehensive household hazardous waste collection from 9 a.m. to noon at the Lee DPW, 45 Railroad Street. The collection is for south Berkshire towns. Businesses may participate for a fee.
All manner of household hazardous waste will be accepted—including oil-based paints, stains, varnishes, thinners, solvent adhesives, lighter fluid, fuels, antifreeze, polishes, pool chemicals, insecticides, fertilizers and weed killers, moth balls, poisons, flea control products, rubber cement, photo chemicals, chemistry sets, artist supplies, mercury thermometers and thermostats, compact and tube fluorescent lamps and much more.
Pre-registration with CET is required for the collection.
This program is sponsored by the 15 towns that form the South Berkshire Household Hazardous Waste Collaborative. The participating towns are: Alford, Becket, Egremont, Great Barrington, Lee, Lenox, Monterey, Mount Washington, New Marlborough, Otis, Richmond, Sheffield, Stockbridge, Tyringham and West Stockbridge.
Latex paint will not be accepted at either event. Empty or dried-up cans of latex paint can be disposed with the regular trash. Empty cans of oil-based paint, stains and solvents can be disposed with the regular trash as well. Usable paint can be given away through freecycle.org or some non-profits.
To pre-register or for information about what can be brought to either of these collections, visit www.cetonline.org or email amandad@cetonline.org. Or call Amanda at 413-445-4556 ext. 17. Residents from communities that are not participating should call their City or Town Hall for information about household hazardous product collections. |
