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 of 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. 31, 9 a.m. – noon, at Southside STEM Academy (1106 Campostella Rd.). This drive-up and drop-off event offers Norfolk residents the opportunity to properly dispose of plastics, electronics/e-waste and household hazardous waste (HHW) such as batteries, including lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, paint, pesticides, cooking and automotive oils, propane tanks and more, free of charge. Proof of residency may be required. Residents may also bring personal documents for secure, on-site shredding, newer or gently used athletic shoes, and used, expired, worn or otherwise unsafe child safety seats for recycling. Friends of Norfolk’s Environment will be giving away native trees to residents with proof of address, while supplies last. In addition to special waste disposal, volunteers will collect
