BRADENTON, Fla. (WWSB) – If you’ve been cleaning out your garage, shed or storage room, this weekend is a great opportunity to safely dispose of items that don’t belong in your regular trash.

The event will be held from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Lena Road Landfill, located at 3333 Lena Road in Bradenton, and is open to Manatee County residents only.
Residents can safely dispose of a variety of household hazardous materials and electronic waste, including:

- Batteries
- Aerosol cans
- Cleaning chemicals
- Weed killers, pesticides and fertilizers
- Propane tanks

County officials remind residents not to place these items in their household garbage, as they can pose safety and environmental hazards and will not be collected with regular curbside trash…
