If you have a burned out compact fluorescent light bulb, some garden chemicals you no longer need, some unneeded used oil (it’s good for rust-proofing saw blades and other tools) and other hazardous chemicals around your house, a convenient time to dispose of them safely is coming up. This is also a good time to get rid of old cell phones and other small electronic devices, which also contain hazardous materials.\n<\/p>\n

That will be from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Feb. 18 at Lakeland’s Solid Waste Department parking lot at 602 Evelyn Ave.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This will be a drive-through dropoff event, so you don’t have to get out of your car.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, you don’t have to wait for special events.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Polk County Waste & Recycling’s Household Hazardous Waste dropoff center is open between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays. It is located at 5 Environmental Loop South, which is near the county solid waste office near the landfill, located off Winter Lake Road in Winter Haven.
