Fairgrounds Pollutant Collection
Apr 16THIS WEEKEND, April 17-18, 2010, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. is the bi-annual Fairgrounds Pollutant Collection!
Items accepted include: household cleaners, pesticides, fertilizers, automotive fluids, cooking oil, batteries, all fluorescent light bulbs, small ammunition, smoke alarms, aerosol paint, hobby paint, pool chemicals, items containing mercury, and unused or out-of-date prescription medications.
Items NOT accepted at the event include: latex paint, tires, computers, radioactive waste and commercial waste. Latex paint is not accepted because it is not hazardous. It is water-based and can safely disposed of by being dried out. Remove the lid and let the paint completely dry. Tulsa residents can place 2 cans of dry paint next to regular residential trash for pick up.
Transport pollutants to the event in the trunk of a car or the bed of a pick up truck. Wear gloves while handling pollutants.
To deliver items, enter the fairgrounds from 15th Street at Gate 7 (15th & Sandusky). Trained volunteers will remove pollutants from vehicles.
