Door-to door program helps residents dispose of household chemicals

Getting rid of paint and other household chemicals is just a call way with the Door-to-Door Household Hazardous Waste Program.

Sponsored by Aurora Water and Curbside, Inc., the program provides a convenient, cost-effective way for residents to responsibly dispose of household chemicals, including paint, car batteries, used oil, spray cans and much more. And it only costs $15.

Residents interested in participating should call 1-800-449-7587 to schedule an appointment, obtain a list of acceptable items and to receive a collection kit that holds the chemicals securely until pickup. Curbside staff can help older residents and those with disabilities prepare their materials for disposal. For more information, call Mary Dawson at 303-739-7372, email her at mdawson@auroragov.org
