Smithfield, NC – This year's spring cleaning just got easier! Johnston County's Household Hazardous Waste Collection event is back on Saturday, April 26 from 8:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. Residents can safely dispose of items that don't belong in trash or recycling by using the free drive-thru service at the Johnston County Livestock Arena.
Whether it’s oil-based paints, old pesticides, fluorescent bulbs, pharmaceuticals or automotive fluids, our staff will be on site to help unload hazardous materials from participants' vehicles, and answer any questions you may have.
Johnston County Solid Waste, the Johnston County Sheriff's Office, and the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program will host this year's event.
