The following items can be disposed of at Regional Roundup Events:

Escambia County residents only.

Household Hazardous Waste
If household hazardous waste (HHW) is disposed of improperly it can start a fire, give off dangerous fumes, contaminate the soil or groundwater, or cause injury to people or animals.

HHW are items in a home that can cause injury if handled improperly. These items will usually have a warning or cautionary statement on their label, such as: flammable, corrosive, poison, or toxic. This includes items such as: Fluorescent Bulbs, up to 8 ft. long, no more than 10 per customer, CFL, compact fluorescent light, no more than 10 per customer, swimming pool chemicals, home maintenance products such as cleaners and drain openers, paint and paint products, fuels, gases, lawn and garden chemicals, aerosol cans, and automotive repair and maintenance products. The HHW is collected and repackaged. It is then transported to a facility where it is disposed of properly.

Electronics Recycling
Businesses and residents can now dispose of all types of electronics. Recyclable items include: computers, monitors and terminals, keyboards, mice, and printers. Residents can also dispose of TVs, copiers, fax machines, VCRs, stereo systems, telephones, and microwaves. Only clean, dry items will be accepted. Electronics that have been stored outdoors or have water damage cannot be recycled. *Microwaves can now be brought to the roundups.

Businesses with large amounts of electronics should call the Department of Solid Waste Management to make an appointment to dispose of these items at the Perdido Landfill. By having a basic list of electronics (ex. 5 computer monitors, 4 CPU's, 4 mouse, and 3 keyboards), the processing time for businesses will go quicker.

Tires

4 tires per household / vehicle will be accepted for no charge at each event. We will not accept more than 4 tires from any one person or vehicle, so please do not try to visit the site multiple times because you will be turned away.

Shoe Reuse and Recycling
Shoes will be collected for the Soles4Souls program. Please ensure shoes are connected together with a rubber band.

Regular recycling materials such as: paper, plastic, glass, metal, aluminum should not be brought to these events. Please see our list of drop-off sites.
