Tox-Away Day is an annual event that provides Allen County residents with the opportunity to safely dispose of unwanted household hazardous waste. These materials, if disposed of improperly, can be dangerous to your health and the environment.  In 2008 we collected 40,500 pounds of household hazardous waste, up 54% from 2007!  The 2010 Tox-Away Day will be held on:
