The Chester County Solid Waste Authority (CCSWA) has announced that its household hazardous waste event, scheduled for Friday, June 19, at the CCIU Learning Center in Coatesville, has been canceled due to the governor's orders regarding COVID-19 restrictions.
Residents should keep their unwanted household hazardous waste, such as oil paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, antifreeze, rechargeable batteries, and other substances, until another event is announced. Readers may visit http://www.chestercountyswa.org for updates and information.
Additionally, the CCSWA encourages local residents to take measures to reduce hazardous waste. They may consider if there is a less-harmful substitute they can use or if they can purchase a smaller quantity. They may also think about whether they will be able to use it up themselves, give it to someone who can, or co-purchase a quantity with neighbors or family members.
