Do not bring: large appliances, biological waste, explosives, radioactive waste, or tires.

Guidelines for safely transporting household hazardous waste to the collection sites include:

§ Place all materials securely in a box, to prevent spilling.
§ Keep all products in their original containers with labels intact.
§ Keep all caps and lids on tight.
§ Wrap leaking containers in newspaper and place in a plastic container for transport.
§ Do not mix materials.
§ Do not leave loaded vehicle in a hot unventilated area for prolonged periods.
§ Do not smoke near the chemicals.

If you have LATEX PAINT avoid the lines at the collection and dry it solid and place in your regular trash. LATEX PAINT is not hazardous and can be disposed of normally once dried.

The program is for residents only; no material will be accepted from businesses, industry or institutions.

This is a regional program as the counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia are working together to make the program more convenient to the residents in southeastern Pennsylvania. As a result, the residents of Bucks County are welcome to take their household hazardous waste to one of the neighboring county collection events if that date or location is more convenient. Please verify the details of the Non-Bucks events. All collections are held on Saturday’s from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. unless noted otherwise, rain or shine.
