Dump Your Hazardous Junk for Free in Orange County

One of the most difficult parts of any project is what to do with the trash that's left over. From paint to pesticides to batteries, there's a long list of items that just don't belong in the regular trash.

While there are a few select drop-off locations for specific items, the task of cleaning out en entire garage or storage space can quickly go south when nontraditional items add up. Luckily, the Orange County, NY government has shared an easy way to get rid of nearly everything... for free.
