Local site will collect used antifreeze

The Delano Regional Transfer Station has become a dump site for used antifreeze, the Regional Board of Mayors decided Monday.

The offer was made by the Grant County Department of Public Works early in September and agreed to when the mayors had their monthly meeting this week.

Now the transfer station can offer year-round dumping privileges to residents within its service area. The county will pay the transfer station for the antifreeze deposit program, with funds coming out of the Ephrata Landfill tipping fees.

Two additional sites in the county, the Ephrata Landfill and the CDSI Landfill, already collect the toxic substance.

The county will provide two drums and a funnel inside of a plastic overpack container to collect the antifreeze.
