Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off Days provide opportunities for County residents to safely dispose of products containing harmful chemicals.
This program is for Anne Arundel County residents ONLY. Commercially registered vehicles, including rentals, and commercial waste are not accepted.
During the events, trained personnel will ask you to remain in your car while they unload the HHW from your trunk. To make unloading safe for staff and fast for you: Tightly secure all container lids to avoid leaks and spills then set your HHW in boxes or plastic totes to contain accidental spills during transport. Due to the ongoing pandemic, plastic totes are not guaranteed to be returned to customers.
Barring any interruptions from the pandemic, there will be six scheduled drop-off events offered in 2021.
