[ARCHIVED] SWA's June Household Hazardous Waste Tip

Summertime is prime for backyard parties: grilling out, splashing in the pool, and making sure the landscaping looks its best.

After the fun of outdoor carousing, keep in mind that some items should not be placed in the garbage. Instead, they should be brought to any of the SWA’s Home Chemical and Recycling Centers. (Commercial disposal brings special guidelines. Call 561-687-1100 to learn more.)

Summertime supplies requiring special disposal include:

  • pool chemicals
  • pesticides
  • propane tanks

These items (and other home hazards) can be dropped off for free to any of the centers listed below, where they will be recycled or disposed of properly.
