About Us
History
Who is the Household Hazardous Waste Task Force? While you may not recognize the name, surely you’re familiar with some of our programs. If you’ve ever exchanged a mercury thermometer for a digital model, dropped a household battery in a recycling bin, or taken your used motor oil to be recycled, chances are you’ve met the Task Force.
The organization was created in 1992 by solid waste districts in southern Indiana and has a long history of developing effective public education and collection programs designed to keep residential hazardous materials from entering our environment. Today’s Task Force is made up of over 50 public entities throughout Indiana, all of which are committed to offering services that protect the environment and improve the quality of life for Indiana’s residents.
