Household Hazardous Materials

Household Hazardous Waste Collection events are now closed for 2024. Check back in spring of 2025 for appointment options.

 

Winnebago County Solid Waste operates a seasonal Household Hazardous Material (HHM) Collection Facility that accepts IN-COUNTY HOUSEHOLD SOURCED MATERIALS ONLY free of charge. The HHM Facility opens in April by appointment only.  We are accepting appointments for Household Hazardous Materials collection during our scheduled dates through October 2024.

 

You must schedule an appointment by booking online or call 920-232-1800 to drop off household hazardous materials at one of our collection events. Appointments must be scheduled at least 2 days in advance.  No walk-ins or same-day appointments will be accepted.  If you have a large amount of items to drop off (such as a trailer full or pick-up truck bed full) please schedule 2 sequential appointments, giving yourself and our staff more time to assist you.

 

**Liquid latex paint is able to be disposed of at the landfill drop site for a fee and will not be accepted through Household Hazardous Waste Collection events.**
