Walton, NY-
Gather up those old paints, thinners and pesticides. Clean Sweep 2015 is the place to turn in all those questionable items that might pollute our waterways, soils and homes.
Every year, regional partners for clean water and a healthy environment host a community hazardous waste collection day, known as Clean Sweep. Now in its
19th year, Clean Sweep provides a safe disposal venue by collecting chemicals and other materials which pose a threat to public health, water and environment.
Clean Sweep is free to farmers in the eight watershed counties and free to all Delaware County household residents. Delaware County businesses, municipalities and county agencies are also invited to properly dispose of waste materials. Disposal services for businesses and municipalities are provided "at cost" with a cost estimate based on your itemized disposal list.
Register online at cleansweep.eventbrite.com or call (607) 865-6474 to get your appointment for HHW (household hazardous waste) redemption.This public service is brought to you by The Watershed Agricultural Council, Delaware County Department of Public Works, CCE-Delaware with funding from NYC DEP and NYS DEC.
