Household Chemical Roundup

Tri-County Health Department will hold its third and final Household Chemical Round-up of 2010 for Douglas County residents on:

Date: Saturday, September 11
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Location: Castle Rock Utilities Building
Address: 175 Kellogg Court, Castle Rock, CO

The Castle Pines North Metropolitan District (CPNMD) Board encourages Castle residents to identify and safely dispose of unused/unwanted hazardous chemicals from their homes and garages during this convenient drive-through event. Properly disposing of hazardous materials and toxic chemicals decreases the likelihood that they will find their way into local landfills, creeks, storm water systems, sanitary sewers and septic systems. Doing so also reduces the potential for accidental poisoning and ground water contamination.

Some of the easiest and certainly least expensive ways to conserve water involve making simple changes in the ways you use water around your home.
