The St. Joseph County Solid Waste Committee would like to give residents advance notice of its upcoming household hazardous waste collection, and recycling of electronics, tires, paper and latex paints.
The annual fall collection will take place Oct. 18 at the county fairgrounds in Centreville.
The solid waste committee’s April collection drew almost 40,000 pounds of electronics, 715 tires, about 2,500 cans of paint, 14,000 pounds of hazardous waste and 80 appliances.
Committee secretary Pat Kulikowski said feedback she has received indicates people like to know about the collections ahead of time in order to start accumulating items to discard.
