The City of Jefferson is bringing back a free program to help residents get rid of unsightly or dangerous items.

The Hazardous Waste Drop-Off will take place from 9-11am on the north side of the downtown square tomorrow. The program is a partnership between the City and Metro Waste Authority and is free for Jefferson residents only. City Administrator Mike Palmer says there are several items that will be accepted and items that won’t be, and he talks about one item that residents continuously believe is an accepted item when it’s not.

“Latex paint, we turn that away. Latex paint can be dried out at home. Maybe pour it out on a piece of cardboard and let the sun dry it out, put cat litter in it, whatever. Then when it’s dried out you can just put it in the trash. It’s a really nice thing to have. You can just drive up and drive through. You might have to wait in line a little bit because it’s been a couple of years now (since we’ve had the program).”

Some of the accepted items include antifreeze, gasoline, aerosol and ammonia-based cleaners, fertilizers, fluorescent light bulbs, pesticides, among others. Some of the items that won’t be accepted include asbestos, fire extinguishers, propane tanks, among others.
