Residents who would like to get rid of old batteries, oil-based paints and other hazardous materials have until March 18 to schedule a drop-off time as part of the annual residential Household Hazardous Waste Collection event on March 27, the county announced.
The drive-thru event will be held in Central Maui and is by appointment only. Participants will be assigned an appointment time and will be instructed to remain in their vehicles while professionals unload hazardous waste materials. All staff will be wearing face masks.
Items accepted include aerosols, antifreeze, car batteries, household batteries, fire extinguishers, fluorescent bulbs and tubes, oil-based paint, pesticides, solvents and thermometers. Residents should ask about other hazardous items when they call to make an appointment.
To make an appointment, call Cameron Chemical Corp. at (808) 695-2999 by March 18 and have a list of hazardous materials ready.
A crew from Cameron Chemical Corp. will be flying to Maui for the event. The company urges residents to schedule an appointment early so staff can know how much equipment and supplies to pack to safely process the hazardous waste.
The service is for residents only; businesses that want to responsibly dispose of toxic materials can contact hazardous waste processors at:
• EnviroServices, (808) 839-7222.
• Oasis Environmental Group, (808) 529-1300.
