Bronx Safe Disposal Set for April 29

NYC Department of Sanitation will present a Safe Disposal event this Spring at the Orchard Beach parking lot on Saturday, April 29, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., rain or shine.

SAFE Disposal is for Solvents, Automotive, Flammables and Electronics. Household products such as pesticides, strong cleaners, mercury-containing devices, paints, cent light bulbs, and medications, syringes (clearly labeled in packaged in a “sharps” container or other leak-proof, puncture-resistant container) may be brought to the dropoff location, as well as electronics, which may no longer be collected with trash and other recycling, due to a NYS law. However, only city residential waste will be accepted.

Collected materials are either recycled, blended for fuel or sent to a licensed hazardous waste treatment facility for safe disposal.
