"Community Hosts Electronics and Hazardous Waste Drop-off Amnesty Day"

Sumter County residents can take advantage of the upcoming Amnesty Day on April 6 and drop off eligible items, including household electronics and hazardous materials, free of charge at Lake Okahumpka Park. The event aims to encourage responsible disposal of items such as automotive fluids, batteries, paints, and cleaners, while reminding residents not to bring items like tires, explosives, or radioactive waste. This initiative helps divert significant amounts of recycled and hazardous materials from ending up in landfills, contributing to a cleaner environment.
