Metro is holding a free household hazardous waste collection event in Lake Oswego on Saturday, November 2. Take some time to clean out your garage and under your sinks and get rid of old paint, solvents, propane, medication, and more. You can bring up to 35 gallons of waste for free, based on container size.
Check out what materials you can bring and how to prepare them properly.
There are a number of ways you can dispose of your Halloween pumpkin - you can put it in your compost pile, you can put it in your yard debris container for curbside collection, or... you can toss it off the training tower at the Westlake Fire Station!
Bring your non-painted pumpkins to Westlake Park on Sunday, November 3 between 2 and 4 p.m. to take part in this free, fun event. Participants will climb the tower and toss their pumpkin to a target below. Prizes will be awarded to those hitting the target.
Hosted by the Lake Oswego Fire Department, this event supports Hunger Fighters Oregon. To help, please bring a donation of non-expired, non-perishable food items.
