Household Hazardous Waste site opens in Rockford for Illinois residents
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – Illinois residents can drop their hazardous waste items off at the site for free.
The facility opened with a ribbon-cutting at 9 a.m. Dec. 5 at 3315 Kishwaukee St. in Rockford.
The City of Rockford works with Four Rivers Sanitation Authority to operate the site.
Illinois residents can dispose of common household hazardous waste items like aerosols, corrosives, oxidizers, solvents, oil-based paints, waste oil, pesticides, fertilizers, batteries (no alkaline), and fluorescent lamps. Items can be dropped off for free.
“Worst thing people can do it either pour them down the storm sewer or the sanitary sewer,” says Robert Wilhelmi, Brownfields Redevelopment Specialist. “So, ultimately the best thing and most responsible thing for residents to do is bring them down here where products can be safely disposed of or recycled.”
The facility is open open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.
