Lehigh Acres residents will be able to safely and responsibly dispose of household chemical waste such as leftover paints, cleaners, herbicides, pesticides, automotive fluids and pool chemicals on Saturday, Nov. 20.

The collection, hosted by Lee County Solid Waste in partnership with Lee County Parks and Recreation, will be held from 8 a.m. to noon at Veterans Park Recreation Center, 55 Homestead Road South, on the east parking lot between the skate park and baseball fields. Drop off is an easy, drive-through process available to all residents at no charge.

This event reflects the county’s commitment to provide residents convenient and responsible disposal of chemicals that might otherwise be harmful to people and the environment.

Businesses that need chemical waste disposal can call Clean Earth at 321-952-1516 to schedule an appointment for the monthly business collection held at the county’s permanent Household Chemical Waste drop-off location, 6441 Topaz Court, off Metro Parkway in south Fort Myers.
