In order to provide safe household hazardous waste disposal to our commuity, the County offers 5 Remote Household Hazardous Waste collection events each year. These events allow residents to bring such items as paints, oils, cleaners, solvents, and other chemicals for proper disposal at a location near them. This agenda item addresses a contract for a remote household hazardous waste collection event at Garden Plain, Kansas. The City of Garden Plain has approved this contract. The collection will take place on May 31, 2014 from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm at the high school football field parking lot, located at 900 N Section Line Rd in Garden Plain, Kansas.
