Accepted special-waste items include electronics, household hazardous waste, textiles and pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cAs Summit County residents get into their spring cleaning projects, we know they understand the importance of disposing of unwanted items in responsible ways,\u201d Summit County Commissioner Karn Stiegelmeier said. \u201cOur annual recycling event is a great opportunity to ensure that all those old computers, paints, clothes and medications don\u2019t end up harming our health or environment. So we invite everyone to participate as part of the celebration of Summit County Cleanup Day and Colorado Public Lands Day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The May 18 recycling event, free to all Summit County residents and property owners, is funded through the Summit County Safety First Fund, approved by local voters in 2014. Collection will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Summit Stage Bus Barn, 222 County Shops Road in Frisco, next to the County Commons. During last year\u2019s event, Summit County collected 13 tons of electronics, 218 pounds of pharmaceuticals, 24 pounds of medical sharps, 2 tons of textiles and 10 tons of household hazardous waste.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">High Country Conservation Center is recruiting volunteers to assist with the May 18 collection event.
