If you are visiting the HPCC for the first time the
process is very simple. Enter the facility and pull your vehicle up
into the off-loading bay. Signs and street markings will help you
in the right direction. Please be careful of foot traffic. Upon your
arrival a HPCC staff member will greet you. We do request that you
place your vehicle in park and maintain a 6'-8' distance between
vehicles for the safety of the HPCC staff. Also small children and
pets must remain in the vehicle for their safety. Be prepared to show
proof of residency, off loading will be taken care of by HPCC staff
members.
If you plan to shop the free swap area, please
park your vehicle in the parking lot or along the street (Dorsey) so we
can keep the off loading bay open. We want your visit to the HPCC to be
enjoyable and safe. If you have questions or ideas please let a staff
member know, we are here to serve you.
Transporting Items
When you transport
HHW, it is important to remember that if
the material spills, leaks or off gasses serious injury may
occur. Always refer to the label on the material for
packaging and transport.
Here are some simple reminders:
-
DO NOT
mix different products together!
-
DO NOT
smoke while transporting HHW!
-
If possible do not transport the
material inside the interior of the vehicle with you.
If you must, secure it so it does not come loose in the
event of a sudden stop.
-
Be especially careful with
flammable/combustible materials. During the summer
months or even just leaving the material in the trunk of
the vehicle can cause the material to off gas quicker the
hotter it gets. Aerosol cans may even rupture if
permitted to get hot enough.
-
Bring materials in the
original container. Pack them to prevent accidental
spills. Never transport open containers of liquids.
-
If there is no label and you
know what the material is, mark it on the container or
inform the Center staff when you drop it off.
