(KNZA)--Household hazardous waste collections will be held in Doniphan County on a monthly basis, beginning next month.

The Doniphan County Commission last week approved an agreement with Jackson County for the disposal of the materials at the Jackson County Recycling Center in Holton.

Doniphan County will pay a disposal fee plus for the fuel and labor costs associated with transportation of the materials.   

Dennis Foster with Northeast Kansas Environmental Services told Commissioners the household hazardous waste collections will be held on the third Thursday of every month, beginning November 16th.   

The collections will take place at the county road shop at 1144 St. Columbus Road at the west edge of Wathena from 10:00 in the morning until 2:00 in the afternoon.
