Tox-Away Day

Saturday, September 7, 2013
 

Tox-Away Day is our annual event providing Allen County residents the opportunity to safely dispose of unwanted household hazardous waste.

These materials, if not disposed of properly, can be dangerous to our health and the environment. 

In 2012, we collected over 43,000  pounds of household hazardous waste at this one-day event.
