2005 Archived News
Need a reason to clean out the garage, get rid of old bags of weed
and feed and clear out oil based paints left over from the last
remodel? Issaquah residents can bring their household wastes to
a three-day Wastemobile event on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August
5-7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Wastemobile will be located at the
Issaquah High School, 700 2nd Ave., SE.
For
over 16 years, the King County Wastemobile has been providing collection
services for residents throughout King County. When the program
started in 1989 it was the first in the nation and in 2004, over
16,000 King County residents used the Wastemobile services to safely
dispose of household hazardous wastes. The program currently visits
26 cities in King County and recycles or reuses 98 percent of collected
waste.
King County’s Hazardous Wastemobile accepts pesticides, chlorine
bleach, paint products, automotive products (oil, antifreeze, auto
batteries, etc.) and other household hazardous items free of charge.
By properly disposing of these materials and keeping them out of
drains and garbage, you are helping safeguard your family’s
health and the environment.
For more information, including acceptable materials and quantity
limits, call the King County Household Hazards Line at (206) 296-4692,
Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., except holidays.
Recorded information is available after hours. You can also learn
