LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. –
Household Chemical Collection Day and Computer and Electronics Recycling Day is Nov. 21 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Hampton.
This collection program is for households only and is not extended to business offices, shops or retail services on Langley.
The Hampton Public Works Operations Complex staff is extending the hours for this day, expecting city residents to turn in several storm-related materials. The drop-off location is located at 419 N. Armistead Ave (near the corner of Armistead and Pembroke).
