PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — Democratic State Senator Dave Koehler is inviting local residents to participate in an upcoming disposal event.
The Household Hazardous Waste collection event is sponsored by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. It will take place on Saturday, May 31, in the Landmark parking lot on North Dries Lane in Peoria. The event will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
You must register for the hazardous material disposal event. You can do so here. Those interested in disposing of waste on the day of the event are asked to pack materials securely and remain in their cars once they get to the event. Staff will remove the items from your car safely.
Items you can bring: chemical cleaners, oil-based paints, anti-freeze, motor oil, gasoline, weed killers, insecticides, pesticides, and other household hazardous materials.
Items that won’t be accepted: latex paint, propane tanks, fire extinguishers, explosives, smoke detectors, and agricultural chemicals.
"Hazardous materials can clutter our homes and harm the environment if not disposed of properly," said Senator Koehler. "Events like this make it easy to be responsible with items that are often difficult to discard safely."
More event information is available on the Peoria County recycling services page.
