2001 Tox Away Day       

    Cars begin to line up early at Roberts Stadium in Evansville.

    Cars ready to drop off household hazardous waste.

    Master Gardeners survey all visitors.

    Surveys help the Solid Waste Districts know where people are coming from, and how many households participated.

    Master Gardeners direct traffic.  This keeps the lines of cars moving smoothly, without risking dented fenders.

    Cars quickly wrap around to the west side of Roberts Stadium.

    By 9:00, cars were lined up on the north side of the Stadium . . .

    . . . out the entrance . . .

    . . . and down Division Street.  Cars here had a 20 minute wait to unload their household hazardous waste.

    Master Gardeners and Patricia Colbert, Posey Co. Solid Waste Director, look for ways to streamline the operation.

    State Representative and Master Gardener Dennis Avery and Kalah Jerstad of Operation City Beautiful, try to coax drivers to form two lanes.

    Larry Caplan, Extension Horticulture Educator, puts down his camera and helps direct traffic.

    Joe Ballard, Vanderburgh County Solid Waste Director, looks to see if there's any end to the number of cars.

    Master Gardeners prevent accidents as people leave.
