COCONINO COUNTY — The Flagstaff City-Coconino County Public Library (300 W. Aspen Ave) will no longer accept batteries, CDs, MP3 players and cell phone drop-offs.
Flagstaff residents can dispose of these products and other hazardous waste at the Hazardous Products Center (HPC), located at the Cinder Lake Landfill (6770 Landfill Rd). The HPC accepts all types of hazardous waste and is open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
The City of Flagstaff also hosts “Drop-off Day” collection events in April and October where residents can safely dispose of batteries, cell phones, CDs, latex paint, CFL light bulbs, sensitive documents and all types of electronic waste. For more information about collection days please visit www.flagstaff.az.gov/dropoffday.
Many commercial businesses located in town accept rechargeable batteries for recycling, as well as other forms of electronic waste. To find lists and maps of participating businesses and drop-off locations, visit Flagstaff’s recycling guide at www.recyclebycity.com/flagstaff/.
