Oxford and Addison residents made a strong showing at the Household Hazardous Waste Day in Orion Township Saturday.
Eighty-one vehicles from Oxford and 24 from Addison showed up at the Eagle Valley Recycling and Disposal Facility to drop off hazardous materials such as car batteries, motor oil, and mercury.
A total of 492 vehicles from Orion, Oakland, Oxford and Addison townships safely disposed of waste materials that day.
