Sedgwick County is providing a hassle-free way to dispose of hazardous materials.
The county's hazardous waste program is hosting a remote collection site at the Valley Center City Hall parking lot this weekend. County residents may bring and dispose of items that are not safe to put in the trash or pour down the drain such as paint, aerosols, batteries, used motor oil, lawn and garden chemicals, and fluorescent lightbulbs.
There will be no charge for the recycling or disposal.
The county will not accept tires, any electronics, explosives or ammunition, or controlled substances such as medications.
The collection will be open from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday.
