The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (lincoln.ne.gov/City/Departments/Health-Department), through its HazToGo program, has partnered with a federally licensed contractor to provide periodic collection of business-generated hazardous waste at volume pricing. The next event will be Thursday, August 13. You must have an appointment to participate in this event.
This program reduces barriers for businesses to properly manage their hazardous waste. HazToGo bridges the gap for businesses to work with a hazardous waste contractor and access waste disposal at reduced costs. Businesses that generate low volumes (less than 27 gallons or 220 pounds in a month) of regulated hazardous waste may be eligible to participate. Common types of businesses, such as general contractors, medical offices, dental offices, print shops, auto shops, school systems, non-profits, painters, churches, childcare centers and home occupations often benefit from these events.
Examples of wastes that are accepted include: Aerosols, corrosives, pesticides, flammable solids or liquids, adhesives, asbestos, mercury, poisons, paint, solvents, cylinders, oxidizers, photo fluids, PCB ballasts and mineral spirits. Please note radioactive materials, explosives, and biohazards/infectious waste are NOT accepted.
If you are a business in Lancaster County and want to take advantage of this program, contact the event coordinator today: (402) 441-8002 or spwaste@lincoln.ne.gov.
