How do I drop off my items?

You load your car, drive to the event and they’ll do the rest! They do their best to keep traffic flowing so they ask that all attendees remain in their vehicles. They have volunteers who will unload your car for you and sort the items appropriately.     

    

Please note - this event attracts a lot of people! While they work as fast as they can to get people through the line, please anticipate a wait. Thanks in advance for your patience and they appreciate you taking the time to properly dispose of hazardous waste. 



Do I need to bring anything other than my items? 

To speed up the process, they ask that event attendees bring a completed copy of their registration form. Knowing what you have with you allows them to direct traffic and efficiently sort the items you are bringing.
