Uinta County’s Annual Household Hazardous Materials Collections
Once again it is time for Uinta County’s Annual Household Hazardous Materials Collections Day. The event will be held on Saturday, May 10th from 9am to 3pm. In Evanston, the collection will be at the fairgrounds. In Bridger Valley collections will be taken at Road & Bridge by the Sheriff’s department.
We are calling on all CERT volunteers to come out and give your support to this event. Volunteers of all abilities are welcome and needed. Any amount of time you can give is much appreciated. Wear work clothes and shoes.
Last year’s Household Hazardous Waste Day was very successful. All kinds of hazardous materials were collected including old paint, used oil, old car batteries, computer monitors, computers, cell phones, antifreeze, pesticides, and many other misc chemicals. One of the biggest benefits of proper disposal of these and other chemicals is the prevention of contamination of our community’s water.
Please call Kim West or Lacey Megeath and notify if you are going to be able to lend a hand. We’ll need to have an idea of how many will be there so we can bring enough tyvec suits, gloves, etc. Any amount of time you can help is valued.
