Cobb to collect household hazardous waste on Oct. 31

Cobb County and Keep Cobb Beautiful will host a free Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 31.

The site is the former BJ’s Wholesale Club, 2435 East-West Connector, Austell.

Remain in your vehicle during the collection process.

Be prepared to leave containers, boxes and/or bags.

Your recommended arrival time will be assigned during your online registration.

No commercial vehicles or waste from businesses will be allowed.

There will be a limit of 10 gallons of paint per vehicle with nothing added to the paint.

However, paint can be combined in a single can to save space - even with different colors.
