The Adams-Clermont Solid Waste District (a joint district, part of OEQ) is tasked with preparing and implementing the Solid Waste Management Plan for Clermont and Adams Counties.
When most people hear the word ‘compost’, they automatically think of a smelly pile of moldy food. However, when done correctly, composting does not smell bad and is a sanitary way to dispose of organic waste. There are many different ways to start composting and no matter what your restrictions may be, there is a composting method that will work for you. If you are interested in purchasing a composting bin, we currently have Earth Machine compost bins available for purchase for $46. Contact Hannah Lubbers, (513) 732-7894 x 4, for more details.
What to do with Household Hazardous Waste
Cleaning out your garage? Gather an inventory of chemicals you no longer need with approximate weights or volumes of each category of waste and call the Solid Waste District for a voucher at 732-7745. The voucher will pay for disposal at Environmental Enterprises and can be mailed or e-mailed to you.
Remember, paint can simply be dried out by adding kitty litter, newspaper clippings or drying material sold at hardware stores. Once it’s a pasty consistency, it can be set on the curb for your waste hauler to collect.
