Allegheny CleanWays

Has spring cleaning left you with cans of old paint, solvents, cleaners, antifreeze, paint thinners, chemical strippers, insecticides, kerosene, lighter fluid, lye, mothballs, pool chemicals or other household hazardous waste products?  Even a can or two of mystery stuff?

Dispose of these dangerous items properly at a Southwestern Pennsylvania Household Hazardous Waste Task Force collection event. The Southwestern Pennsylvania Household Hazardous Waste Task Force’s mission is to facilitate the proper collection and disposal of household hazardous waste and minimize its generation through education in Southwestern Pennsylvania.  The SW PA HHW Task Force is comprised of members from profit, non-profit (including Allegheny CleanWays), academia, government and environmental organizations across Southwestern PA. The Task Force conducts several hazardous household waste collection events throughout the year. A small fee is charged. Our next collection will be Saturday, July 31, 2010 at the Cranberry Mall, Route 322, Venango County.

The next Allegheny County event will be Saturday, September 18, 2010 at Monroeville Mall.
