According to a news release, a local resident nominated the county’s Mobile Household Hazardous Waste Depot service in the Programme Innovation category.
The service provided the collection of household hazardous waste 155 days a year. Previously, residents would have to take their household hazardous waste to one of seven scheduled event days each year.
