Permanent Pollution Collection Site Opened in Tulsa
Most households have various cleaning products and chemicals that produce toxic waste when disposed of. Paint, harsh cleaning chemicals, and even batteries can be very harmful to the environment and contribute to pollution if not disposed of properly.
To help citizens properly dispose of such items in a safe way, the City of Tulsa has opened a permanent collection site for household pollutants. The new site will be open permanently, not just occasionally at the fairground, as has been the case in the past. The permanent household pollution collection site is located at 4502 S. Galveston Ave.
According to city officials, the new facility will only cost $180,000 to operate each year. This is a huge slash in overall expense compared to the makeshift, temporary collection site at the fairgrounds, which cost $310,000 for just two collection weekends. The new site will be open two days each week.
Residents of Tulsa can freely drop off their household chemicals by making an appointment online or via phone. The new facility is open every Wednesday and Saturday, all year, from 8am to 4:30pm.
Items that are accepted for disposal includes lawn chemicals, flammable liquids, CFL lightbulbs, household cleaners, aerosols, cooking gas, oil based paints and paint thinner, pool chemicals, house and car batteries and automotive fluids.
