Many common household products contain hazardous ingredients. From paints to bathroom cleaners, pool and lawn care products - anything with a caution label that reads Danger, Warning, Flammable or Caustic can become a dangerous pollutant to groundwater and streams when not handled properly. Avoid these products to save money and protect children and pets from exposure. When household hazardous waste is leftover or unwanted, contact Lane County's Hazardous Waste Collection Center for safe disposal. 

Household cleaners and products are accepted through our Hazardous Waste Collection Center. Call 541-682-4120 to make an appointment. Collections are scheduled most Thursdays and Saturdays.*Disposal is free for households and minimal fees apply to businesses.

Leftover and outdated pharmaceuticals cause problems in our community. Please do not flush medication down the toilet, sink or throw in the garbage! Wastewater treatment systems are unable to remove pharmaceuticals from the waterways.

Oregon's drug take-back program allows Oregonians to return unused medications in person at participating pharmacies or by mail. For more information, click here.

In Oregon, it’s free and easy to safely recycle TVs, computers, laptops, printers, monitors and tablets.

Electronics not only contain hazardous substances that can pose dangers if disposed, they contain a host of substances which are rare and highly polluting to manufacture. Consider donating repairable and reusable electronics to Next Step Recycling, Goodwill Industries or St. Vincent de Paul.
