Household Hazardous Waste

HHW DETAILS
What It Is And How We Take Care of It

Chemical products in your home are deemed Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) once they are no longer in use or have passed their expiration date. The potential for their ignitability and toxicity make them hazardous to us and those around us. HHW is not regulated by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is why the Washington County Solid Waste District has taken a proactive approach in seeing that the residents of Washington County have a method to properly dispose of their hazardous materials. We offer our residents Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days throughout the year for your convenience. Thanks for using this service.

Our HHW days for 2024 are April 13th and October 19th, from 8:00 AM – 12:45 PM.
