The St. Croix Solid Waste Program is working with Northwest Regional Planning Committee (NWRPC) to host their 16th annual hazardous waste collection event. They are asking Tribal Members and Tribal Businesses to participate so they can correctly dispose of household chemicals, paints, aerosols, and other solvents that are harmful to the environment and human health when not properly disposed of.

|
The event will be held on Wednesday, September 28th, 2022 from 8am-11am, or until at full capacity. Stop early! The event will be held at the St. Croix Environmental Services Garage. Please enter from Highway 70 and pull through towards County Road X. Due to the complexity of the materials, they ask that participants remain in the vehicle and allow workers to remove all items being dropped off. Thank you!
