County pursues permanent hazardous waste center Clatsop County is moving forward this year with the center- piece of its Household Hazardous Waste Pro- gram – the development of a permanent collec- tion cen- ter for the disposal of WR[LF ÀDP- mable and corrosive items. The fa- cility, tar- geted for construction at the Asto- ria Transfer Station in Astoria, will collect hazardous prod- ucts such as pesticides and herbicides, paint, cleaning solvents and other materials not suit- able for disposal with standard household trash. The facility is ex- pected to open in April 2016 As a result of the project, the county will no longer sponsor the yearly household haz- ardous waste collection events held each May. Until the new collec- tion facility is operat- ing, residents who need to dispose of hazardous SURGXFWVPD\¿QGRWKHU options at www.co.clat- sop.or.us. The household haz- ardous waste collection facility will be open at least eight times a year to collect waste items from county residents and qualifying small businesses. The center will be funded through a grant from the Oregon Department of Envi- ronmental Quality and a surcharge on garbage collection rates. Many home and yard products when not completely used up ac- cumulate in our cabi- nets, garage shelves, or outdoor sheds exposing children and pets to toxic chemicals. Hazard- ous wastes should not be put down home drains, street storm water drains, discarded in the garbage or poured on the ground. The dan- gers of improper dis- posal may not be im- mediately obvious, but this pollutes our waters, places harmful chemi- cals in the sewage/septic systems that aren’t de- signed to remove chem- icals, and exposes waste KDXOHUV DQG ¿UH ¿JKWHUV needlessly to hazardous conditions. Below are ways to re- duce hazards year-round: • Reduce the amount that may sit in your cup- boards by purchasing only what you need. • Before buying, read the labels so that you can choose to pur- chase non-toxic products whenever possible. • Look into green al- ternative products and give them a try. Most work as well as toxic chemicals and are much safer. • When storing your hazardous products put them in a safe place away from children and pets, and keep them in their original containers. • Share unused prod- uct with a neighbor or friend to get rid of it all.
