The event aims to provide residents with a safe way to dispose of hazardous household waste. Organizers have stated that business, agricultural, industrial, or commercial waste will not be accepted during this collection.

Haas, a Republican, was elected to the Illinois State House in 2020 to represent the state’s 79th House District, replacing previous state representative Lindsay Parkhurst according to public records.
