Need to find a way to get rid of old paint, solvent, pesticides, cleaners or car fluids? Don't just toss them in the trash or down the drain and hope they disappear! They can end up in soil and groundwater like little chemical ninjas and contaminate the water many of us rely on to drink!

Instead, join us just ONE WEEK from today, Saturday, March 21 at our Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event!

🕰️ 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.
📍 Illinois Central College, 1 College Dr., East Peoria
✅ See the flyer for acceptable materials

Appointments are REQUIRED for this event but signing up is quick and just a click away when you go to SignUp.com/go/sTXhTxg

Join the Tazewell County Household Hazardous Waste Collection event. It’s one of the simplest ways to protect our community’s groundwater and keep hazardous chemicals out of the environment!

We are thankful to be able to be a part of this giving back to the community! Marquette Heights Fire Department, Marquette Heights Men's Club of Central Illinois put a lot of effort into this, along with Station 2 Custom Creations and our local schools helping to get food and/or toy donations for our local families!

We hope everyone has a great holiday season!
