Organizations Can Save Time and Money at the Small Business Hazardous Waste Event

Sign up to drop off your organization's paint, rechargeable batteries or fluorescent lightbulbs on Wednesday, June 26  

On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, Mecklenburg County’s Solid Waste Management Program will hold a small business hazardous waste collection event which will allow non-residential organizations to bring hazardous waste for a reduced fee. Hazardous waste includes fluorescent light bulbs, pesticides, rechargeable batteries, paints, and more. The County’s full-service recycling centers can only accept residential hazardous materials, pursuant to EPA regulations, so the County has special collection events for schools, businesses, and other non-residential entities. These events are offered periodically for organizations that qualify as a very small quantity generator. 

“Lots of organizations can qualify as a very small quantity generator. Do you have a small business, non-profit, church or work for an organization that generates hazardous waste? Let us help you!,” says Solid Waste Director Jeff Smithberger.  

This event will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 26. Organizations are accepted by appointment only and space is limited. To make an appointment:

To better assist you, Mecklenburg County Solid Waste is offering $100 off for the first five Mecklenburg County customers to qualify, sign-up, and participate.
