Household chemical waste.

Lehigh Acres residents will be able to safely and responsibly dispose of household chemical waste, such as leftover paints, cleaners, herbicides, pesticides, automotive fluids and pool chemicals, on Saturday, Oct. 11.

The collection, hosted by Lee County Solid Waste in partnership with Lee County Parks & Recreation, will be held from 8 a.m. to noon at Veterans Park Recreation Center, 55 Homestead Road South.

Dropoff is via a drive-through process available to all residents at no charge.
