What items will the HHW facility accept?

Who can bring items to the HHW facility?
Any resident of Sedgwick County can bring their left over or unused hazardous waste materials to the facility.
Can I collect household hazardous waste from my neighborhood and bring a large load to the HHW facility?
We strongly discourage this idea. Any individual that transports household hazardous waste for another party assumes all liability during the transport. State and federal laws allow individuals to transport their own products. Parties that transport household hazardous waste for other people must have a permit from the Kansas Department of Health and Environmental and the Environmental Protection Agency to be in full compliance with state and federal laws.

Businesses generating less than 55 pounds a month of hazardous waste are eligible to use the Small Quantity Generator program at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Call 660-7464 for more information.
What else does the facility offer?
We have a Swap-&-Shop where residents can take selected materials home for free (Limit of 10 items per vehicle AND limit of 10 items per person in a one-month period). Some materials that might be found in the Swap-&-Shop are paint, fertilizers, aerosols and household chemicals.
