During the Household Hazardous Waste Collection event, Gary residents may dispose of items like medications, cleaning agents, paint, chemicals, medical needles, household batteries, carpet cleaner, fluorescent bulbs, shoe polish, pet supplies, etc. As chemicals are hazardous to our water, our land and our health, residents are urged not to throw chemicals out with regular household trash, and not flush down the toilet or drains.
Household Hazardous Waste Collection will be open to serve you from 9am until 2pm at 455 Massachusetts Street, in the Hudson-Campbell Parking Lots.
Environmental Information Bags, Free reusable tote bags from the Recycling Department (to the first 100 residents), Tire Disposal, Recycle Bins, Paper Shredding, Small Engine Gas Can Exchange, Refreshments and more are among the free services offered on HHW/Green Gary Day.
Residents may volunteer to assist with the city’s cleanup effort by cleaning out and properly disposing of hazardous materials around their homes. Community groups can even collect old tires, computers, cell phones and other electronics for proper disposal.
