Body
Background: Sedgwick County has a Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 801 Stillwell. Studies have shown that the majority of customers come from within a six- mile radius. In order to provide safe household hazardous waste disposal to our community, the County offers five 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 Haysville City Hall in Haysville, Kansas. City of Haysville approved this contract on May 14th, 2018.
