Household hazardous materials services are paid for through landfill disposal fees. Therefore, it only makes cents to properly manage your household hazardous materials first, then use the collection site as a last resort. It also makes good health and safety sense to use less or non-hazardous alternatives.
Household Hazardous Materials Collection Program is for Sedgwick County Single-Family Residents only.
