Household Hazardous Waste

Thank you to all residents who responsibly disposed of household hazardous materials during the August 30, 2026 drop‑off event.

Leftover household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable or reactive ingredients are considered to be "hazardous waste".  These products contain harmful ingredients that require special care when disposed of to help protect human health and the quality of the environment. Below is a list of the most common household hazardous materials.

The city coordinates and funds three household hazardous waste events each year.  Residents may drop off their household hazardous waste and select electronics at no cost.  There is also a shredding truck on site for sensitive documents.

The next Household Hazardous Waste events will be held in 2027. The dates are being coordinated with the vendors and will be released soon.

The events will be held at 40 Street & Chase Avenue, in the parking lot behind the bank.

View the full event details on the events page.
