Hazardous Waste:
Don't trash it, let us handle it
Hazardous Waste and Electronics Collection Events are held on the first Saturday of the month between September and May. We also participate in the City of Tallahassee's Cash-For-Trash events every April and October.
During Fiscal Year 2010-2011, 1,910 citizens dropped off 32.9 tons of hazardous waste and 29.3 tons of electronic scrap at our collection events. Thank you for your support.
You don't have to wait! The Hazardous Waste Center is open six days a week.
