2005 Archived News

Got bad stuff? The fall season for collecting household hazardous waste has begun, and the King County Wastemobile will be in the SeaTac/Burien area for two weekends in September to pick up discarded household hazardous waste.

Local residents can bring their household wastes to a three-day Wastemobile event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 9-11, and the following weekend, Sept. 16-18. The Wastemobile will be at the Criminal Justice Training Center at 19010 First Ave. S., SeaTac.

The first program of its kind in the nation, the Wastemobile has been providing household hazardous waste collection service for residents throughout King County for almost 20 years. More than 16,000 residents have taken advantage of the service.

King County’s Wastemobile accepts pesticides, chlorine bleach, paint products, automotive products (such as oil, antifreeze and auto batteries) 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 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., except holidays. Recorded information is available after hours. You can also learn more by visiting the Wastemobile Web site at www.govlink.org/hazwaste/house/disposal/wastemobile.
