The City of Hattiesburg is partnering with several governmental and community agencies to host the Right Way to Throw Away Day on Saturday, April 20, with two dropoff locations at Bobby L. Chain Municipal Airport (Academy Drive, Hattiesburg, MS 39401) and Lamar County Multi-Purpose Center (99 Central Industrial Row, Purvis, MS 39475). Between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., residents can properly dispose of household items like cleaners, transmission fluid, bleach and old electronics.
