Volusia County’s Solid Waste Division will host a free collection event for household hazardous materials from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27, at DeBary City Hall, 16 Colomba Road.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, traffic will be one way, and residents must stay in their cars.

Only unmixed household hazardous waste will be accepted. Insulin needles will be accepted in approved containers; the containers will not be returned. Businesses are not eligible for free disposal.

Residents also may bring their household hazardous waste for free disposal year-round to the Tomoka Landfill, 1990 Tomoka Farms Road, Port Orange; or the West Volusia Transfer Station, 3151 E. New York Ave., DeLand. The landfill is open from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
