Thank you, Morgan County

Spring Tox Away Day was a great success, thanks 

to your participation, Morgan County.  We had over

650 vehicles visit our drop off site!  Over 3,000 gallons of paint, 416 gallons of gasoline and paint thinner, 341 gallons of pesticides, 1,658 lbs of adhesives, 51 lead batteries, 1,265 gallons of oil, 1,035 fluorescent bulbs, 398 lbs. of  unwanted medication including 50 lbs. of controlled substances, 439 tires, and 319 televisions were disposed of properly.  This totaled up to 64 tons of toxic waste!  We couldn't have accomplished the day without our volunteers.  Thank you!  If you would like to volunteer for our next Tox Away Day, please call 765-342-2533.  Our fall Tox Away Day is scheduled for October 26, 2019!
