Martin County offers Hazmobile hazardous‑waste pickup; tire roundups continue for mosquito control
Summary
Hosts on 2MC said Martin County's Hazmobile and transfer station accept household hazardous waste free of charge (up to 100 lb or 20 gallons), and reminded listeners about upcoming tire‑roundup events in Jensen Beach and Palm City for mosquito control.
On the 2MC show, hosts Mac and Courtney described Martin County's hazardous‑waste options, including a rotating Hazmobile and the county transfer station. They said residents may bring household hazardous waste — commonly accepted items include filters, oil, paint and pesticides — and noted the service is free.
The hosts said Martin County residents may bring up to 100 pounds or 20 gallons of household hazardous material to the Hazmobile or the transfer station and that an accepted‑materials list is available on the county website. They advised listeners to check the list before dropping off materials.
Separately, the hosts reminded listeners about the county's tire‑roundup program to reduce mosquito habitat: an event will be held in Jensen Beach this Saturday and a final collection will take place next Saturday at John Leighton in Palm City.
For accepted hazardous materials, drop‑off schedules and precise weight/volume limits, consult the Martin County solid‑waste pages. For tire‑roundup locations and hours, see the county's mosquito control or public works notices.
