Perham's household hazardous waste collection day is 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesday, July 8, at the Perham City Garage.
"We will have a drive-through set up so when they drive in city workers will unload the items from the vehicles and help move them into the trailer where the county workers sort the items and put them in their own bin on the trailer," Perham's Public Works Director Jeremie Schossow said.
