For more than a decade, the city's ToxDrop program has been promoting the safe use, storage and disposal of household hazardous waste. As a result, ToxDrop has prevented more than a quarter of a million gallons of household hazardous waste from entering the city's air, land and water. With the addition of eCycle, more than 300,000 pounds of electronic waste has been recycled.
