East Baton Rouge Parish is set to host a Spring Household Hazardous Materials Collection Day on April 9, from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. The event will take place at Southern University's F.

G. Clark Activity Center, where residents can dispose of hazardous waste safely. This initiative is crucial for safeguarding public health and protecting the environment, as improperly discarded materials can lead to contamination and health risks. To participate, residents must present valid identification to confirm their residency in the parish. This program reflects the local government's commitment to sustainability and responsible waste disposal practices.

By providing this service, EBR aims to educate the community about the importance of managing hazardous waste correctly. The event not only encourages responsible behavior among residents but also fosters a cleaner, safer environment for all. Residents are urged to take part in this valuable opportunity to declutter their homes while contributing to environmental protection.
