GOAL: The goal <strong>of</strong> this initiative is to provide citizens a way to safely dispose <strong>of</strong> hazardous wastes and<br />
to increase public awareness <strong>of</strong> the importance <strong>of</strong> proper disposal.<br />
OBJECTIVE: The objective is to hold two (2) Household Hazardous Waste Amnesty Days (one per<br />
year for two years) to provide the opportunity for proper disposal <strong>of</strong> hazardous wastes.<br />
In the past, the Baldwin County Commission has sponsored Household Hazardous Waste Amnesty Days.<br />
These events have been very successful in terms <strong>of</strong> attendance and the amount <strong>of</strong> household hazardous<br />
waste received. The goal <strong>of</strong> this initiative is to provide citizens a way to safely dispose <strong>of</strong> hazardous wastes<br />
and to increase public awareness <strong>of</strong> the importance <strong>of</strong> proper disposal. The objective is to hold two (2)<br />
Household Hazardous Waste Amnesty Days (one per year for two years) to provide the opportunity for<br />
proper disposal <strong>of</strong> hazardous wastes. In addition, the events will serve as an opportunity to provide the<br />
public with educational material related to this and other environmental concerns. A nationally-recognized<br />
hazardous waste disposal company will be utilized to collect household hazardous waste. The hazardous<br />
waste disposal company will use federally-approved disposal methods to incinerate, recycle, or place the<br />
material in a designated hazardous waste landfill. Household hazardous waste materials such as motor oil,<br />
antifreeze, and paint are <strong>of</strong>ten poured into storm drains, which may empty into coastal waters. Household<br />
Hazardous Waste amnesty days allow citizens <strong>of</strong> Baldwin County to properly dispose <strong>of</strong> household<br />
hazardous waste materials to potentially prevent improper disposal into storm drains and to reduce toxic<br />
input into Baldwin County’s groundwater via the landfill. The potential for coastal water quality<br />
protection exists as a result <strong>of</strong> household hazardous waste amnesty days.<br />
Past household hazardous waste amnesty days have been very successful. Last year 714 customers were<br />
served. A total <strong>of</strong> 3,150 gallons <strong>of</strong> household hazardous materials were disposed <strong>of</strong> via the Household<br />
Hazardous Waste Handling and Disposal Facility. The Household Hazardous Waste Handling and<br />
Disposal Facility is located at the Magnolia Landfill. This facility, which opened in 2006, was constructed<br />
using funds from the previous <strong>CIAP</strong>. (Appendix G-19 and G-28 include a map and pictures <strong>of</strong> Baldwin<br />
County’s hazardous waste collection facility).<br />
