NEW - Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center



This summer, the Salt Lake County Health Department (SLCoHD) opened a new Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center for county residents. The new center, which is located at 8805 South 700 West in Sandy, is a convenient alternative to taking household hazardous waste to the safe HHW disposal sites at the Salt Lake Valley or Trans-Jordan Landfills. The HHW Collection Center is open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Just drive up and drop off and a trained employee will safely dispose of the items.

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is anything in or around your home that is poisonous, flammable, corrosive, or toxic, as well as products (such as electronics) that contain certain materials like heavy metals.

Common HHW includes:
  • Automotive batteries and fluids like antifreeze and oil
  • Fuels
  • Paints, stains, and varnishes
  • Pesticides, herbicides, and other yard chemicals
  • Many cleaning supplies
  • Cooking oil
  • Aerosols
  • Electronics and fluorescent bulbs
  • Nonalkaline batteries such as lithium, NiMH, NiCd (alkaline batteries—such as common AA, AAA, C, and D batteries—are not considered hazardous)
Residential HHW disposal is FREE for Salt Lake County residents. Business waste and waste from residents of other counties is accepted for a fee. Business waste is accepted by appointment only (call 385-468-4380 to schedule an appointment for business waste disposal).

It is dangerous to dispose of HHW in your garbage can or down sinks or toilets, and it is illegal to abandon HHW or pour it into gutters, storm drains, or waterways. Storing or disposing of these items improperly poisons our land, air, and water and may result in both civil and criminal penalties.
