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.
