Hardin County residents may dispose of household hazardous waste and prescription drugs during a free event this weekend.
Residents may bring accepted materials to Metalsa, located at 750 North Black Branch Road in Elizabethtown, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, August 12.
Accepted materials include paint thinners, solvents, batteries, anti-freeze, herbicides, automobile products, and fuels, among others. A full list of accepted materials can be found on the Hardin County Government Facebook page.
Radioactive waste, explosives, poisons, asbestos, and commercial waste are among the materials that will not be accepted.
The disposal event is funded in part through a grant Hardin County received from the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet through the Kentucky Pride Fund.
