What is Hazardous Waste?

Hazardous waste is any form of waste that poses a threat to human health and/or the environment. Hazardous waste can be flammable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic.

What is the Leon County Hazardous Waste Center?

The Hazardous Waste Center is your one-stop location for household hazardous waste and electronics disposal. Its services are free for all Leon County households. In FY 22-23, the center processed 530 tons of potentially hazardous material from an estimated 19,600 residents and businesses, of which 338 tons were removed from the solid waste stream through recycling or
reuse.
