Got trash? You know, the really nasty stuff the sanitation department won’t accept? The kind of stuff that would kill your property value if you just buried it in the yard? Well, now there’s something you can do with it. Well, at least some of it. On Saturday morning, from 8 a.m. until noon, the Jefferson County Department of Environmental Protection will host Household Hazardous Waste Day. Then you can dispose of some of your nasty trash safely and legally at one of four county drop-off points, including …

• Alabama State Fairgrounds

• Hoover Met (now called Regions Somethingoranother)

• Bessemer Civic Center

• Center Point Courthouse.

The county will accept aerosol cans, antifreeze, car batteries, motor oil, tires, paint, pesticides, alkaline batteries, chemical drain cleaners, solvents, ammunition, gun powder, explosives, fireworks, firearms and flares.

Really now — who would throw away perfectly good fireworks? But anyway, the county won’t take everything. If you have mercury, propane cylinders, fluorescent lights, medical waste, smoke alarms, asbestos or PCBs, then you’re just SOL.

The county will accept household waste only (no commercial waste) and only from Jefferson County residents. And, no, that doesn’t give permission to Shelby County to dump theirs in the Cahaba.
