A recent household hazardous waste collection event in DeKalb County yielded several thousand pounds of materials collected for proper recycling.
More than 550 cars participated in the event, which collected more than 57,000 pounds of paint, 5,200 pounds of liquid fuel, 4,500 pounds of liquid pesticides, 4,200 pounds of solid pesticides and 2,500 pounds of batteries.
The event safely recycles the waste, keeping it out of the county landfill on Seminole Road.
