Fall is a great time of year to clean out closets and declutter those dusty garages and sheds. While you may uncover some surprising treats, it can be tricky to properly dispose items such as hazardous household waste, electronics and plastics.
There’s no need to be scared! Just put those items in the car and bring them to Keep Norfolk Beautiful’s Special Waste Collection Event on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. to noon at Azalea Baptist Church (3314 E. Little Creek Rd).
This drive-through and drop-off event offers Norfolk residents the opportunity to properly dispose plastics, electronics/e-waste and household hazardous waste (HHW) such as paint, batteries, pesticides, cooking and automotive oils, propane tanks and more, free of charge. Proof of residency is required.

Residents can also bring personal documents for secure, on-site shredding. Plus, Friends of Norfolk’s Environment will be giving away trees to residents with proof of address while supplies last.
Special thanks to Azalea Baptist Church for hosting this event and our partners from SPSA Norfolk Transfer Station, Goodwill Hampton Roads, Shred-It, City of Norfolk Waste Management for providing services and volunteers from Keep Norfolk Beautiful, Norfolk CERT and Camellia Shores Civic League for helping on site.
