The City of Rockwall will host the 8th Annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on April 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at its Service Center at 1600 Airport Road in Rockwall.
This event is open to all City of Rockwall, City of Heath and Rockwall County residents.
“We appreciate the invitation to participate in this important environmental project,” says Les Horvath, Administrative Projects Coordinator for the City of Heath. “We’re encouraging Heath residents to take advantage of this opportunity to safely dispose of their waste and also defray the program’s costs by making it a neighborhood or homeowner’s association project.”
For example, Monte Allred of Buffalo Creek Country Club Estates was honored in 2007 by the Heath City Council for making it more convenient for his neighbors to participate in the Collection Day. Mr. Allred collected his neighbors’ waste items on his trailer and made one trip to the collection site in Rockwall. By doing so, he also significantly reduced the City of Heath’s participation cost.
“We are looking for more volunteers who have a truck or trailer and would be willing to be responsible for their neighborhood’s participation,” says Mr. Horvath. “It is a one-day volunteer effort that makes a big difference in our community.”
To volunteer or get a voucher to participate, please contact Mr. Horvath at 972-961-4883. Items accepted in household quantities are: pesticides; paint products; household cleaners; herbicides; motor oil; automotive chemicals; swimming pool products; propane; medicines and prescription drugs; and tires without rims.
