Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events and Facilities

Some counties and municipalities conduct annual collections of household hazardous wastes, while others have permanent collection facilities or sponsor curbside pickup programs.  Household chemical waste collections are limited to residents of the county or municipality that sponsors the event or facility. Proof of residency is usually required before wastes will be accepted. There may also be a fee associated with collections to help defray the costs of the collection activities.

Always call ahead to determine what wastes your facility is able to accept and to confirm the date and time.

Please select the first letter of your county or city below:
