The Department of Pubic Works, Bureau of Solid Waste, will hold a Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off event this Saturday, August 27, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute parking lot located at Falls Road and Cold Spring Lane. Residents should use the Cold Spring Lane entrance.

This event provides an opportunity for Baltimore City residents to dispose of hazardous household materials such as oil-based paints, pesticides, herbicides, car and household batteries, drain cleaners, gasoline, pool chemicals and many other items. Latex paint can be dried up and the cans put out for regular trash collection.

Materials that will not be collected include trash, acids, asbestos, ammunition, fire extinguishers, industrial and medical wastes, and radioactive materials, including smoke alarms with a radioactive symbol.

Residents must show proof of city residency, e.g. a driver's license, telephone bill or tax bill, before they can drop off any hazardous items. Residents must also be able to identify the material. No walk up items will be accepted and residents are asked to remain in their vehicles at all times.  Loads over 500 lbswill not be accommodated at this event.
