Annual 2025 Household Hazardous Waste Collection: TBD
Each year since 2005 the county has sponsored a one-day household hazardous waste collection. In 2010 we made managing this waste a bit easier by providing an ongoing collection for oil-based coatings and pesticides (see link to paint/pesticide collection), however there are still items that must be handled by a hazardous waste company. Products such as gasoline and kerosene, gas/oil mixes, cleaners, chemicals, and other household chemicals must be managed by a hazardous waste company.
