Remember that rusty can of paint of the most hideous hue ever created? How about that 5-gallon bucket of goop from your last attempt at changing the oil in your car?

If you live in Schuylkill County, you can get rid of those and other hazardous household waste this fall.The county will conduct its first household hazardous waste cleanup from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 15 in the parking lot of the Schuylkill Mall, Frackville.Commissioners on Wednesday agreed to use the state Department of Agriculture's Chemsweep contract and waste disposal contractor, MXI Environmental Services, to facilitate the event.The Department of Agriculture and the Department of Environmental Protection have both approved the site as a collection point.Residents may bring antifreeze, asbestos, corrosives/caustics, lead acid batteries, oil based paints, paint products, turpentine, thinner, flammable liquids, contaminated and used motor oil, latex paints, pesticides, agricultural waste, one and 20 pound propane cylinders and fire extinguishers.Items that will not be accepted are electronics, alkaline batteries, business waste, tires, garbage, 55-gallon drums, fireworks and explosives, ammunition, smoke or carbon monoxide detectors, radioactive material, medical waste, infectious waste, sharp controlled materials, institutional waste and government waste.Do not mix materials or use plastic bags. Tighten lids on all containers. If a container is leaking, put it in a larger container. Please label the containers.Proof of residency is required. For more information, call 570-628-1220.The event will be held rain or shine. No commercial waste will be accepted, and the weight limit is 200 pounds of waste per person.The cost for the event is estimated at $60,000 to $75,000, depending upon the tonnage collected. The state will reimburse the county for half of that cost.In other waste-related news, the recycling center in Mahanoy Township will be shut down as of Oct. 3 because people keep dumping their trash there. The county will see which other recycling site is closest and add bins to that site.County engineer Lisa Mahall said people dumped trash even when surveillance cameras were in plain sight.In other matters, commissioners approved renewal of a contract between the coroner's office and National Medical Services, Willow Grove, for laboratory testing services and related services.The contract, which consists of fees for service, runs retroactively from July 1 through June 30, 2015.Commissioners also approved changes to the way the coroner's office pays for transport services and deputy coroner assistance with investigations.County coroner transporter fees will be changed to $15 per hour, compared with the $80 fee that was used in the past when using the county van. The office has its own van, which is leased to the county for $1 a year. If a person transporting a body has to use his vehicle, the $80 fee for transporting would be honored.The fee paid to deputy coroners for assisting in investigations was also modified to $15 per hour from the former flat $40 fee.The changes follow similar actions on Sept. 3, when commissioners approved bundling deputies' charges for photography, documentation and mileage into one $50 fee. Before, deputies were paid separately for each item.Coroner's office financial consultant Albert Nastasi requested the changes at a workshop session Wednesday, saying they would save money.
