*The Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off Program no longer accepts latex paint. Latex paint is not a hazardous waste and can be safely thrown away with your regular trash once it is in a solid form. Simply leave the lid off the paint and mix in sand, saw dust, or kitty litter to speed up the drying out process. Once the paint is dry, leave the lid off when you dispose of the can with your regular trash so your waste hauler can see that the paint is dry. Reduce waste by only purchasing the volume of paint you will need. Click here for more information.

The HHW program will no longer accept prescription drugs or other medications. Please follow the FDA recommended disposal method, www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm101653.htm.

The Hamilton County Solid Waste District covers 100% of the cost of this service for Hamilton County residents to encourage proper disposal of household hazardous waste. The District pays every time a resident drops off waste through this program. We encourage you to reduce your hazardous waste by only purchasing the amount of product you use and purchasing non-hazardous alternatives.

Please remember these important points:
• Drop off items only during the days and times listed.
• Pack like items together in boxes.
• Remain in your car at all times.
• Bring proof of Hamilton County, Ohio residency, such as a driver’s license or utility bill.
