It is best to compost in your back yard or bag for collection. Never pour oil into streets or storm drains. Spent oil can be recycled at your recycle center. Remove pet wastes from yards and dispose with your regular trash. Follow directions when applying fertilizers and pesticides on lawn and gardens.
Excess fertilizers run off and end up in our rivers and streams.
Use the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Site to dispose of used motor oil, automotive fluids, paints, pesticides, herbicides, and other materials. Call Shawnee County at 233-6147. Use water wisely, it is a limited resource. Wastewater service charges to commercial and industrial customers are based on actual monthly water usage or measured wastewater volume. For residential customers, the average water billed during the months of January, February, and March are used to estimate wastewater volume for the wastewater charge for the following 12 months.
