Proclamation: Household Hazardous Material Collection Day
Body
P r o c l a m a t I o n
WHEREAS, the majority of community residents have various necessary and useful materials stored in and around their homes and apartments that could also cause harm to the environment if not handled and disposed of properly; and,
WHEREAS, any such unused or old materials should not be placed in the regular garbage collection system due to potential environmental problems; and,
WHEREAS, there is no local drop off or collection point for these household hazardous materials; and,
WHEREAS, seeing a need to provide this public service for residents of St. Charles and St. John the Baptist Parishes, twelve local Petrochemical Companies are sponsoring a Household Hazardous Material Collection Day on October 16, 1999; and
WHEREAS, on this day certain household hazardous materials will be accepted and properly disposed of or recycled; and,
WHEREAS, an informational video on Cable Channel 6 will notify residents of the upcoming October 16, 1999 Collection Day and will provide local residents with everything they need to know; and,
WHEREAS, the events sponsors were recognized by Governor Foster through the State's Environmental Excellence Award Program in the Community Outreach Category for last year's event; and,
WHEREAS, we anticipate another positive and successful community event to follow-up the major success of last year's initial effort.
Now, therefore, we, the members of the St. Charles Parish Council and the Parish President, do hereby proclaim October 16, 1999 as
"Household Hazardous Material Collection Day"
and recognize the twelve participating Companies for their Community Service.
DuPont, DuPont Dow Elastomers, Epsilon Products, Marathon Ashland, Monsanto, Montell, Motiva, Nalco, Occidental Chemical, Shell Chemical, Stockhausen, and Union Carbide
