Montgomery County hosts hazardous waste collections events throughout the year where residents can bring unwanted hazardous household automotive products, home maintenance, lawn and pest control products to be recycled properly.
The Montgomery County Commissioners authorize this annual event to prevent tires from being improperly disposed of and to reduce breeding grounds for disease carrying mosquitoes. The tires that are collected will be shredded and repurposed by a local business into products such as road surface material, highway sound barrier wall material and playground material.
Residents can help the environment and clear out some space at home at the same time, recycling also helps reduce the township's trash collection expenses, saving tax dollars.
