The City of Roanoke, in cooperation with Roanoke County, the town of Vinton, Botetourt County, and the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority, will hold the next Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on Sunday, Aug. 3, from noon to 3 p.m., at the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority Transfer Station on Hollins Road. This event is free of charge to residents of the sponsoring localities.
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days give area residents an opportunity to rid their homes of hard-to-dispose-of materials, such as old and used motor oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, oil-based paints, thinners, varnishes, household cleaners, bleach, polishes, kerosene, acids, poisons, flammables, corrosives, pesticides, car and household batteries, and old-style fluorescent light bulbs.
Examples of materials that cannot be accepted include tires, explosives, medical waste, and radioactive materials including smoke detectors. Also, no commercial waste or asbestos will be accepted, and no material in containers larger than 5 gallons.
Space is limited, so pre-registration is required for those who want to drop off household hazardous waste. To pre-register, call 540-387-6225.
