Why Is This Important?
The Northwest Solid Waste District offers collection of household unregulated hazardous waste--such as used motor oil, paint, and batteries--at the Georgia Transfer Station year-round and at special collection events throughout the year. In a typical year, 1500 households take advantage of these services. NWSWD contracts with a hazardous waste transporter to transfer and manage this waste efficiently; the material is typically shipped out of the Region and is often incinerated for fuel
