During a recent ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the facility, Tom Faha, who heads the Northern Regional Office of the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, said the facility will allow Prince William County residents to easily recycle electronics and hazardous, which is a rare commodity. “You’re not going to see many like this as you travel around.” The 6,500-square-foot, $2.5- million building is set to handle household hazardous waste, such as paint thinner, paint, battery acid, cleaning fluids, driveway sealers, fertilizers, pesticides, propane tanks, rodent controls, yard care products, swimming pool chemicals, fire extinguishers, fluorescent bulbs, gasoline, herbicides and pesticides, among many other hazardous waste products.
