BOULDER, Colo.—Police are investigating after someone dropped off several containers filled with potential explosives at a hazardous materials collection site in east Boulder.
Sgt. Pat Wyton says police were called to the Hazardous Materials Management Facility at about 2 p.m. Saturday and found several 1970s-era containers filled with dangerous explosive materials that were likely meant for use during mine blasting.
The center was evacuated while a Boulder hazmat team loaded the containers into a trailer and transported them to another location where they will be stored until they can be properly disposed of.
The Daily Camera reports ( ) explosives are among the types of waste not accepted by the facility.
Wyton says it’s not clear who brought the containers to the site.
