Household Hazardous Waste Collection

Your hazardous waste and e-waste can now be safely collected from each home by calling 877-788-9400.

Look through your home for hazardous items that need discarding – everything from batteries and paint to computers and chemicals – and feel secure knowing Republic Services will handle these special items; protecting both you and the environment!

Residents who call will be asked to describe the items they want collected. They will be asked to use a special kit to collect the items, which will be delivered to them. Each kit includes a 42-gallon clear plastic bag and detailed instructions on how to safely package the items, along with a collection date. These items MUST be kept in a secure location; NOT at the curb, until collection. The only exception is a single item weighing 50 lbs. or more, such as a large TV, which must be placed at the curb.

On the collection day, Republic Services personnel will collect the specially packaged items and recycle them.
