Johns Creek Household Hazardous Waste Event Volunteer

Save to Favorites

We need your help at our Johns Creek Household Hazardous Waste Event! Hundreds of Johns Creek residents are bringing their paint and household chemicals for safe disposal at our drive-thru event. We need your help opening, closing, and running it while a professional Haz-Mat team safely collects the incoming paint and household hazardous materials.

This event will go on rain or shine and is 100% outdoors

Your help is what makes this event happen, which in turn keeps hazardous chemicals out of the North Fulton groundwater, flora, and fauna! Set up and take down the event, place traffic cones and signs, set up/ take down entrance and exit tents, check participant registration, troubleshoot, run errands from one part of the event to the other, assist with traffic flow, and break down cardboard.
