Household Hazardous Waste
Our 2025 Household Hazardous Waste events are now scheduled. Please click on the "Current Events" tab for this year's schedule.
Did you know that recycling one ton of cardboard saves 682.5 gallons of oil, 7,000 gallons of water, and 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space? Every ton of recycled cardboard also saves about 17 trees. It requires 64% less energy than making new cardboard from virgin wood pulp. (Source: iD2 Communications, Waste Reduction is a Smart Business Decision, Onondaga Resource Recovery Agency, Fortune.com)
