A "Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day" was held down at the Seward County Fairgrounds this morning. We took down some 12-15 cans of old paint. Some of it was old enough to contain lead, it was in the basement for a long time. We appreciated the opportunity to properly dispose of it. The event was sponsored by the Four Corners Health Department, York/Seward County Local Emergency Planning Committee, Seward/York Emergency Management, City of Seward and Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and Co-Sponsored by the Garbage Company. While we only took down paint, they accepted a wide rage of materials, such as: Poisons, Yard Chemicals, Acids, Pesticides, Fluorescent bulbs, etc. Our community is a better place because of such events.
