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, May 14. 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 of regulated hazardous wastes such as medical offices, dental offices, print shops, auto shops, school systems, general contractors, non-profits, painters, churches, childcare centers, and home occupations may find this event helpful for managing their waste.
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 at (402) 441-8002 or spwaste@lincoln.ne.gov.
