Hazardous waste is defined as material that can catch fire, react or explode under certain circumstances, or that is corrosive or toxic.  Residents are encouraged to dispose of items such as old oil, antifreeze and paints, solvents, household cleaners, lawn and pool chemicals.  

Also, electronic equipment, including TVs.  A medication collection will  be available for prescription and over the counter medications.  Proper disposal of hazardous waste helps protect our delicate environment and makes our community safer.   For more information, call 580- 767-0411.
