The city of Cullman will be hosting a free Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off Day on Nov. 13 for city residents to get rid of some of their household items — such as batteries, paints or other items containing hazardous chemicals — that they are unable to throw in the trash.

The disposal event will take place at Heritage Park’s parking lot on Lee Avenue (behind Lowe’s), and will last from 8 a.m. until noon — or until capacity is met.

Only city residential sanitation customers will be allowed to dispose of their hazardous materials, and residency will be verified on-site.
