Maui residents may start making appointments Dec. 8 for the county’s free Residential Household Hazardous Waste Collection on Jan. 18 in Central Maui.

Appointments close Jan. 6. The event is by appointment only. Residents must call EnviroServices & Training Center at (808) 456-3494 to schedule a time and receive the drop-off address and other instructions.

The company is asking for calls earlier rather than later so sufficient equipment and supplies can be brought to Maui.

Acceptable household hazardous waste items include aerosols, antifreeze, vehicle and household batteries, fire extinguishers, fluorescent bulbs and tubes, oil-based paint, pesticides, solvents and thermometers.

If item is not listed, inquire about it when calling EnviroServices.

The free service for residents only is sponsored by DEM Environmental Protection & Sustainability Department Recycling Section. Businesses with hazardous waste may call Cameron Chemical Corp., (808) 695-2999; EnviroServices, (808) 839-7222; Pacific Commercial Services, (808) 545-4599; or Pacific Environmental Corp. (808) 545-5195.
