Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day for Clayton County Residents Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
April 26, 2024 (Morrow, Georgia) – – Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA) is hosting its annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day for Clayton County residents on Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the W.B. Casey Water Resource Recovery Facility in Jonesboro.
CCWA’s Stormwater Utility hosts the free annual event to give residents the chance to drop off old paint, batteries, cleaners and other household hazardous waste so they are safely disposed of and do not wind up in a landfill or local creek.
Participants will enter at 8890 Roberts Road (off of Flint River Road) and will need to show proof of residency, such as a driver’s license or a water bill. CCWA staff will direct participants to the unloading zone and back out onto Flint River Road. Contractor MXI Environmental Services LLC will unload the items directly from vehicles and then separate and dispose of them properly.
“We hope county residents will take advantage of this opportunity to properly dispose of the items we accept,” says Kevin Osbey, CCWA’s Stormwater Program Director.
