Douglas County added household hazardous waste disposal to its GreenWorks site in Sedalia, according to an Aug. 4 announcement. Residents can book appointments throughout the year instead of relying on a program with an annual participation limit.
The county projected roughly $200,000 in annual savings from the new arrangement. Accepted materials and booking instructions are listed on the household hazardous waste page linked from the original announcement.
Hazardous waste was the third stage of GreenWorks’ rollout, following expanded slash and yard-waste access and year-round electronics recycling. The county’s August notice described a biochar facility as a later phase still to come. It did not announce that facility’s opening.
