Deerfield Beach will hold a household hazardous waste collection event this Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Bernard Adams Municipal Complex, 401 SW 4th Street. Drop-off runs from 8 a.m. to noon.
Residents can bring motor oil, gasoline, paint, spray cans, batteries, light bulbs, filters, cleaning products and other hazardous household materials. Items should be labeled and kept in their original containers. Drivers must stay in their vehicles during drop-off. Residents need a photo ID or utility bill to prove they live in the city. The city will not accept waste from businesses, schools or government agencies.
At 10 a.m., the city will hold the grand opening of its Community Composting Site, where officials plan to talk about ways residents can keep food scraps out of the landfill.
The Recycling Drop-Off Center will also be open for regular recycling during the event. A full list of accepted hazardous waste items is available on the city’s website at deerfieldbeachfl.gov/hhw.
