Some people prefer to do their spring cleaning in the fall.

If you’re one of those people, or if you have a bunch of cans and bottles filled with oil, chemicals and other liquids you don’t need, here’s some good news: You can dump them for free in Johns Creek.

The city and Keep North Fulton Beautiful are hosting a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on Nov. 10, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Target parking lot on 5950 State Bridge Road.

To dispose of your chemicals there, you must pre-register online. The event is only open to residents of Johns Creek.
