The City of Roswell Public Works/Environmental Department will hold its first Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event on Saturday, May 17. This event will focus entirely on paint and paint related items. Due to limited funding for this event, only Roswell residents will be able to participate. Residency will be confirmed and is defined as physically living within the city limits of Roswell.
Residents will need to fill out a form and email it to Janet Liberman or bring it to the Public Works/Environmental Offices at City Hall, 38 Hill Street, Suite 235. Incomplete forms will not be accepted. After residency is confirmed, the resident will be notified by email of the place and time of the event. Only the items the resident lists on the form will be accepted at the event. Only residents that are on the approved list will be admitted to the event. The event is limited and residents should have their forms completed and returned by May 13 at 5 p.m. Approved residents will be emailed by Friday, May 16 at noon as to where the event is located and the times.
Items accepted at this event are:
1. Water-based Latex paint products
2. Solvent-based paint products
3. Paint and varnish removers
4. Thinner/turpentine
5. Wood preservatives
The form must be filled out completely and include a copy of the resident’s drivers license. Quantities of the above products must be specified in pounds (example: three pounds of latex paint, one pound of thinner).
