The Salt Lake County Health Department will collect electronics, pharmaceutical and household hazardous wastes from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Thursday at Sugar House Park in Salt Lake City.

Electronics include computer equipment, cell phones, televisions and stereo equipment, said health department spokeswoman Pamela Davenport. The household hazardous waste category is broad, she added, involving "anything poisonous, flammable, corrosive or toxic."

That includes hard-care chemicals, pesticides, fuels, paints, batteries, fluorescent light tubes, used oil, antifreeze and cleaning supplies.

Business waste, explosives, radioactive materials and old tires will not be accepted, Davenport said.

She noted that collections will take place every Thursday this summer, with some additional collections of electronics and pharmaceuticals on one Saturday per month.
