Household Hazardous Waste
The Johnson County Household Waste Collection and Reuse Facility is now open!
Operating from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, the new facility allows for the safe disposal of unwanted paint, household chemicals, yard waste and more. Appointments are required and may be scheduled online or by calling 913-715-6907.
Improper disposal of household hazardous waste can cause environmental issues and may present health hazards. Household hazardous waste includes:
- Paint
- Oil
- Compact fluorescent light bulbs
- Gasoline
- Stains
- Solvents
- Insecticides
- Pool chemicals
- Any other common household products that include the words “corrosive,” “reactive,” “toxic,” “flammable,” or “explosive” on the label.
In addition to hazardous waste drop-off, paint will also be available for purchase through the re-blended paint program.
Rechargeable batteries can be recycled at Overland Park’s recycling center. Alkaline batteries can be safely disposed of with normal household waste. Many local hardware and auto parts stores accept small quantities of batteries for recycling.
Please note: The Johnson County Household Hazardous Waste facility located in Mission off of I-35 and Lamar is permanently closed.
