Dear Municipal Administrators and Elected Officials
We regret to inform you that the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection event scheduled for October 17, 2020, at Strayer Middle School in Richland Township, has been canceled.

Our next scheduled and approved event will be held on November 21, 2020, at the Newtown Campus of the Bucks County Community College.
We regret the cancellation and appreciate your assistance in updating your websites and forwarding the information as applicable.
For information on the HHW collection program please visit our portal at buckscounty.org/recycling.
Please note that preregistration will be required for the HHW event on November 21, 2020. Details on registering through Eventbrite will be available soon on our portal buckscounty.org/recycling.
Household products containing toxic chemicals, like pesticides, oil-based paints, solvents, cleaning products, weed killers and automotive batteries can be a threat to people and the environment if improperly discarded. Never throw these materials into the trash, as the toxic chemicals may harm sanitation workers, or result in fires in collection vehicles. It is also not safe to pour them into a sink or storm drain as they can end up in the environment polluting the air, water, or soil.
