Peoria County schedules four household hazardous‑waste events; first drew about 450 cars
Summary
Peoria County staff reported that the first household hazardous‑waste event sold out 400 reservation slots and that about 450 cars arrived; three more collection dates were announced for August, September and October.
Scott (last name not specified in the transcript), staff member, updated the committee on the county's household hazardous‑waste program and scheduled collection events for the rest of the year.
Scott said the first event sold out 400 reservation slots and the county accepted roughly 450 cars. "Those sold out, and we ended up taking, wait, those sold out, and we ended up taking about 450 cars or thereabouts," he said. The county will receive detailed quantities of collected hazardous waste from the Illinois EPA's vendor in the next few weeks.
Scott announced three remaining collection dates: Aug. 2 at Expo Gardens; Sept. 13 at 3 Sisters Park in Chillicothe; and Oct. 4 at Alpha Park in Bartonville. He said registration information and reminders will be posted on county social media as each date approaches. Scott also noted that Becca, the county staffer who coordinates the program, was absent due to a death in her family.
The committee did not take formal action on the events during the meeting; Scott invited questions and said staff will share final collection totals when they are available from the vendor.
