Waste collection day looms

CHENEY – The city will host a household hazardous waste collection day for residents on Saturday, may 13.

The event runs from 8 a.m. until noon at the city recycling center, 100 Anderson Road.

This is for disposal of household chemicals such as:

• Aerosol sprays

• Batteries

• Cleaners & disinfectants

• Degreasers

• Engine cleaners, brake fluid, automatic transmission fluid

• Fire extinguishers

• Glues

• Nail polish & remover

• Oil & filters

• Paints, paint thinners

• Perfumes & toiletries

• Pesticides, herbicides & insecticides

• Pool chemicals

• Propane (5 gallon cylinders and smaller)

• Rust removers

• Weed killers

The local center does not usually accept these types of wastes, officials said.

Residents unable to dispose of items at that time can also visit the Spokane Waste-to-Energy Plant, 2900 S. Geiger Blvd. (Exit 276) throughout the year due to an interagency agreement with the city of Spokane.
