Beginning Tuesday, September 16, 2008, the City of Bismarck Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Recycling Center will open. Bismarck residents will be able to bring household quantities of hazardous waste and electronic equipment to the City of Bismarck’s Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Recycling Center. “The citizens of Bismarck have shown a great deal of interest and participation in our past annual household hazardous waste roundups and we are delighted to now offer household hazardous waste disposal and electronics recycling all year long”, said Jeff Heintz, Director, Public Works Service Operations. “Bringing these items to the Center for disposal and recycling keeps them out of the landfill, protects the environment, and conserves landfill space”, said Heintz.

Beginning September 16, 2008, the Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Recycling Center located at the Bismarck City Landfill, 2111 North 52nd Street, will be open Tuesday and Thursday, and the first and third Saturday of each month, from 9 AM to 2 PM. Household hazardous waste disposal and electronics recycling is free of charge for Bismarck residents. Non-residents can drop off material for a fee.

Citizens bringing items to the Center are asked to stop at the Scale House for disposal procedures. Identification is required when dropping off items. The City of Bismarck reserves the right to reject any waste. Household quantities of hazardous material like oil, paint, weed killer and other chemicals can be brought to the Center. Please leave the materials in their original containers if possible and transport them in a plastic, trash-bag lined, cardboard box to protect from leaking.

“From the interest that citizens have shown about the Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Recycling Center we expect a lot of traffic when the Center opens”, said Galen Bren, City Recycling Specialist. “We ask citizens for their patience as we begin this important service and that they recognize that this service is now being offered year round”, said Bren.
