For folks in and around Florence, save a trip to Eugene and drop off your household hazardous waste materials closer to home!
Many common household products contain hazardous ingredients. Anything with a caution label such as Danger, Warning or Caustic can become a pollutant to groundwater and streams. Avoiding these products saves money and protects people, wildlife and our environment.
