Logan County is set to host its inaugural Household Hazardous Waste and E-Waste event this Saturday, October 26, from 9 AM to noon at the recycling center located at 12:30 Morgantown Road in Russellville. This event is exclusively for Logan County residents and aims to promote safe disposal of hazardous materials. Accepted items include chemicals, batteries, and oil-based paints, while latex paint, auto batteries, and motor oil will not be accepted due to state grant restrictions. Notably, there will be a $10 fee for the disposal of TVs and monitors.

In addition to the waste event, the meeting highlighted upcoming community activities, including a series of Halloween-themed events. The Auburn Jeep Club will distribute candy tonight, and various trunk-or-treat events are scheduled throughout the week, culminating in Halloween festivities on October 31. Residents are encouraged to participate in these family-friendly activities, which include food trucks, games, and costume contests.

The meeting also addressed ongoing efforts by the codes committee, which is currently revising local regulations to make them more accessible. The committee is working on a document that aims to simplify existing codes, with plans to present the revisions to the court in the near future.

Finally, the county's surplus auction is scheduled for November 2 at 9 AM at the Haley Auction Center, where various surplus materials from county departments will be available for bidding. Residents interested in participating are encouraged to attend.
