On Saturday, Nov. 20, residents of Granville County can bring recyclable and hazardous household items to the Expo and Convention Center in Oxford as the annual “Fall Clean Out” is held from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Items to be collected for recycling and/or safe disposal include paint* and paint-related materials, household cleaners, old gasoline, drain cleaners, fluorescent light tubes, scrap metal, electronics, batteries of all types, pesticides/fungicides/herbicides, outdated medications, inhalers, sharps, diabetic supplies, ammunition, propane tanks, flares and fireworks.
In addition, an on-site document shredding service will be provided, as well as a collection station for donations of pet supplies such as dog/cat food, leashes, collars, crates, pet beds, kitty litter and towels.
“Last year’s event resulted in the collection of more than 26 tons of materials for recycling and proper disposal,” said Teresa Baker, Granville County’s Recycling and Sustainability Coordinator. “We are looking forward to another successful collection day and invite all Granville County residents to participate.”
Assistance will be provided at each designated station for convenient unloading. For more details, please contact Baker at 919-725-1417 or at bakertd@gcs.k12.nc.us.
