The City of Ocala, in partnership with Green For Life (GFL), will conduct a special waste amnesty day Saturday, April 22, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The collection site is located at NE 14th Street and NE Eighth Avenue.
Special waste consists of household hazardous waste and electronics. Neither of these types of waste is permitted to be picked up with the regularly scheduled residential waste collection. Special waste from businesses will not be collected.
This annual collection day allows residents to safely dispose of items from their homes. Previous collection days for the city have resulted in approximately 20,000 pounds of materials remaining out of landfills and city water systems. GFL and the City are committed to protecting the environment through special waste amnesty days throughout the year.
Examples of hazardous waste items accepted:
- Lawn and garden chemicals
- Paint, paint thinners and gasoline
