Solid Waste Plan
A public hearing was held April 24 at the Sedgwick County Zoo's Education
Building to review and seek public input on the Solid
Waste Plan update. Review the
10-year
solid waste update and
executive summary recommendations from the Solid Waste Committee.
Ozone
Sedgwick County is close to exceeding the safe ozone level recommended by the
EPA. More information about ozone is available in the
2007 Environmental Report.
No-spill gas cans
Have you accidentally spilled gasoline when filling the tank on a mower, edger,
or chainsaw? These spills can contaminate our water and soil. The vapors from
these spills release the chemicals that form ozone.
On Saturday, April 19, 2008 Sedgwick County held a gas can
trade in event at the Sedgwick County Household Hazardous Waste Facility
(HHW). No-spill gas cans were given to the first 100 visitors that traded in an
old gas can. No-spill gas cans are available at local
businesses.
Environmental Tip
Watch weather reports before applying pesticides or fertilizers -
don't apply these before or during a rain storm only to have them
run off.
