Alpharetta Collecting Residents' Household Hazardous Waste

The city will accept the waste and old paint on a single day in June.



Getting rid of household hazardous waste and paint is a tough task normally, but Alpharetta is giving its residents an opportunity to have it either recycled or properly disposed of through a one-day collection on June 15.

"Whether you are 'going green', have old pesticides, gasoline that isn’t usable, mercury-containing items or paint products that you don’t need anymore, this is your chance to dispose of them.  Many of the materials collected will be recycled or reused," the city's website states.

This collection requires pre-registration and the form can be found on the City website. The service is free for acceptable items and the list includes many paint products, home and garden chemicals and poisons.
