One-Day Collection Events

Collections Closer to Home

Washington County will sponsor special one-day household hazardous waste collections during the summer and fall in communities throughout the county. Paper shredding will be offered at these events as well. No more than 4 boxes per customer will be accepted. Shredding capacity is limited by the size of the truck and may be reached before the end of the event.

In addition to remote collections, the Washington County Environmental Center in Woodbury provides residents with a free and convenient disposal option for household hazardous waste, electronics, and recyclables all year round.
