Today: Free Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off at Ormond Beach Public Works
By Staff report
Ormond Beach residents with old paint, pool chemicals or a dead car battery have a free way to get rid of them this week. Volusia County is holding a household hazardous waste collection from 8 a.m. to noon Friday, Oct. 9, at Ormond Beach Public Works, 501 N. Orchard St.
- The short version
- Free drop-off runs 8 a.m. to noon Friday, Oct. 9, at Ormond Beach Public Works, 501 N. Orchard St.
- Bring proof of Volusia County residency, such as a driver's license.
- Accepted items include paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil, batteries, propane tanks and fluorescent bulbs.
- Can't make it? A second event is Saturday, Oct. 10, in New Smyrna Beach, and two county sites take hazardous waste year-round.
What to Bring
The event is free, but residents must bring proof of Volusia County residency, such as a driver's license.
Items typically accepted include old paint, pesticides, herbicides, pool chemicals, motor oil, car batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs and household cleaners containing harsh chemicals. These materials can contaminate groundwater, damage septic and sewer systems, or create a safety risk if they are compacted with regular garbage.
Can't Make It Friday?
A second event is planned from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 10, in New Smyrna Beach. Volusia County also accepts household hazardous waste free year-round at two permanent sites: the Tomoka Landfill, 1990 Tomoka Farms Road in Port Orange, and the West Volusia Transfer Station.
For questions about accepted materials, call the county's Solid Waste Division at 386-947-2952.
