Household Hazardous Waste
Spartanburg County Public Works Department is working with a local citizen's group to offer one-day events to collect household hazardous material from residents.
If you would like to be a part of this workgroup, please call 864-595-5326 or e-mail.
Otherwise, please check back for future collection day events that will be held in Spartanburg County.
Where to take your HHW
Hazardous waste cannot be disposed of by throwing it in a dumpster or putting it on your curb with your other garbage and recyclables. It requires special handling and treatment. Luckily, there are a few places you can take your HHW and they will handle the dirty work for you!
Examples of household hazardous waste are:
-
Batteries
-
Consumer paint products
-
Corrosives (such as oven cleaners and drain cleaners)
-
Liquid fuels
-
Domestic pesticides
-
Pharmaceuticals (unused medications and hypodermic needles)
-
Pressurized-flammable gas containers (such as propane BBQ tanks and single use tanks)
-
Solvent and flammable liquids (such as gasoline, anti-freeze, and paint strippers)
-
Swimming pool chemicals
-
Consumer electrical and electronic equipment
-
Products containing mercury (includes thermometers and fluorescent lighting)
