Clean Sweep/Household Hazardous Waste Disposal

 

The Mason-Lake Conservation District, in conjunction with Manistee CD, Oceana CD and in cooperation with the Michigan Groundwater Stewardship will be offering a Clean Sweep/Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Day on September 13, 2008.  This service is provided to the residents of Manistee, Mason and Oceana Counties and is made possible by the contributions of funds and time by many governmental entities, businesses, organizations, and foundations.  Participation will hopefully be free again this year but may depend on the amount of funds raised. Donations are important to us!
