10/20/22 @ 1:35 p.m. - On Saturday, October 15th, Nassau County Solid Waste and Keep Nassau Beautiful hosted the bi-annual Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Event. A total of 304 cars came through during the 4 hour event. 63% of the participants came from Fernandina Beach; 28% from Yulee; 4% from Callahan; 3% from Hilliard; and 2% were from Bryceville.
County employees from the Nassau County Solid Waste and Nassau County Road Department, along with 15 volunteers from Keep Nassau Beautiful, processed cars at a rate of 52 seconds per vehicle (once inside the gate). Great job to everyone involved! And a big thank you to the residents who ensured that harmful items were properly recycled, as well as to those who brought a non-perishable item to be donated to Barnabas. Thanks to you, just over 500 pounds of food was collected for the Barnabas Food Pantry and will benefit families right here in Nassau County.
