Jefferson County Solid Waste
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION EVENT A SUCCESS. Thank you to 120 households that participated in April’s Port Ludlow event. The event diverted 3/4 ton of oil paints/stains/solvents; 650 lbs. of pesticides and toxics; 225 lbs. of aerosols; 150 lbs. of old fuels and diverted 2,791 lbs. of pollution potential from our waste stream. 44% of this was recycled or used for energy recovery.
- DID YOU MISS THIS EVENT? Visit the year-round HHW Facility in the Port of Port Townsend, opened every Friday and first Saturday of each month, 10:00 – Noon & 12:30 – 4:30.
Don’t be a WISHCYCLER. It’s tempting to want to recycle ‘everything,’ but those good intentions cause contamination. Sort your recyclables according to the 2019 Recycle Brochure – and when in doubt, throw it out!
Secure your Load – it’s the law.
