10/17/18 @ 1:40 p.m. - On September 8, 2018, Keep Nassau Beautiful and the Nassau County Solid Waste Department sponsored the first fall Household Hazardous Waste Collection (HHWC) Event on the west side of the County. Prior to this event, a HHWC Event has been held each spring in the middle of the County in Yulee. Due to the population growth and increased demand, a second event was added in 2018. Based on the attached Press Release, the fall event was the largest on record based on participation and the amount of items collected. Nine volunteers provided more than 90 hours of their time to assist unloading and properly disposing of more than 46,800 pounds of hazardous waste. The top items collected included latex paint, electronics, and used oil. The below photo provides a breakdown of all types of items collected.

The Nassau County Solid Waste Department's Annual Tire Amnesty Day was also held on September 8th at the Nassau County Convenience Center in Callahan which resulted in 8.79 tons of waste tires being collected and properly disposed of.

Since the fall HHWC Event proved to be successful, it is anticipated that two events will now be held annually. The spring event has already been scheduled for Saturday, March 30, 2019, so go ahead and mark your calendars! Additional information will be shared as that date gets closer.
