These items must first have the Freon removed by a certified removal technician. Freon containing appliances without certification documents will not be accepted.

Recycle

Hazardous wastes are not just a problem for commercial industry. Our homes generate hazardous waste also in the form of cleaning solvents, paint, oil, and automotive products such as tires. The wastes must be disposed of in a safe and environmentally safe manner.

The Randolph County solid waste district has funded a center to collect these wastes.

“Pollution Solutions” is located on Indiana highway 32, 3 miles east of Winchester Indiana. Residents may call Pollution Solutions at 1-877-584-9816 to schedule a time to drop off hazardous chemicals and other waste.

Proper disposal of hazardous household waste helps us all keep our environment safe and clean for future generations.
