SWALCO Household Chemical Waste Drop Off Program Announced

Just got out of our meeting at SWALCO and am excited to announce a perminent drop off site at the SWALCO headquarters for Household Chemical Waste. Until now these events have only been moble one day events. While we will continue to bring moble events(10) to each area of the County, this perminent site will allow more opportunities for our residents to drop off these dangerous chemicals several times a month in Gurnee. Along with providing more opportunites we will be providing this service at a lower price per event.

SWALCO has now expanded their Household Chemical Waste program to include public drop-off days at the Gurnee facility, 1311 N. Estes Street Gurnee, IL 60031.
Public drop-offs will be on an appointment basis only and take place only on the dates specified.

Hours will be from 8am until 12 noon on those dates.
