Citizens of Beaumont,
As you prepare for summertime, please know that disposing of empty pool chemical containers in your garbage cans is a fire hazard. Because they are toxic and pose health and environmental hazards if disposed of improperly, the following items should not be disposed of with your regular garbage:
· Batteries
· paint and varnish
· solvents
· pesticides and fertilizers
· auto fluids
· used oil and filters
· pool chemicals
· mercury
Chemical containers should always be disposed of properly at a chemical waste facility. If you have any questions about potentially toxic materials, or you would like the date of the next collection event, contact SETRPC at 409-899-8444, Ext. 7520, or visit setrpc.org. Please do your part to help keep our City of Beaumont employees and our community safe.
