(Milwaukee, WI) – Clear your home of household chemicals, and help keep them out of our rivers, Lake Michigan, and the environment.

Safely drop off your household hazardous waste at Bayside Village Hall on October 15th, 2022, from 8 am to 2 pm. It’s FREE to visit an MMSD Home Hazmat collection site, where you can get rid of paint, compact fluorescent light bulbs, chemicals, motor oil, rechargeable batteries, and much more (see list below).

MMSD Home Hazmat collection drop-off is only open to Milwaukee County residents. Sorry, businesses are not allowed.

If you can't make this one-day event, three drive-through Home HazMat collection sites are open all year for Milwaukee County residents.

COVID-19 safety measures remain in place.

  • You must stay in your vehicle at all times.
  • Put all items in the trunk or as close to the hatchback as possible. For social distancing purposes, we will NOT accept or unload any items directly behind the driver’s seat in the back seats. 
  • We will NOT return cardboard boxes to transport items to the collection.
  • We WILL return gas cans used for transporting old gas or gas/oil mixtures. However, the cans will be sprayed with a disinfectant before we hand them back to you.
