Welcome to the St. Louis Household Hazardous Waste online reservation system. Please read the information below and agree to the terms and conditions first. Then hit ACCEPT at the bottom of the screen.
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE FROM SAINT LOUIS COUNTY, SAINT LOUIS CITY, AND JEFFERSON COUNTY RESIDENTS ONLY.
Due to funding constraints, households residing in the City of St. Louis and Jefferson County will be limited to one drop-off per year. All households are limited to one drop off per day.
Reservations are now mandatory. Residents will pick "morning" or "afternoon" time slots to show up between versus exact reservation times. This gives you a chance to drop off your waste at a time that works around your schedule, instead of working your schedule around your appointment time.
Leaving waste unattended while we are closed is considered illegal dumping, so please respect our posted hours and days of service.
Depending on the type and amounts of household hazardous waste you have, fees may apply.
HHWSTL will cover the cost of your first 50 pounds.
Material over 50 pounds may be disposed of for $0.95 per pound.
Residents will pay the full cost to recycle latex paint - $0.50 per pound.
Currently HHWSTL has two drop-off facilities on the grounds of the Lemay Wastewater Treatment Facility in South County and off West Florissant Ave in North County.
* Leaving waste unattended while we are closed is considered illegal dumping, so please respect our posted hours and days of service *
Select a date by clicking on the green calendar icon below and then a time slot to schedule your drop-off.
Each household is allotted one drop off per day.
We cannot make same day appointments.
By picking the morning time slot, that means you can arrive any time between 8:30 am - 11:00 am, with gates closing at 11:30 AM. Please arrive by 11:30 am and we will honor your appointment. By picking the afternoon time slot, that means you can arrive any time between 12:30 pm and 5:00 pm, with gates closing at 5:30 pm. Please arrive by 5:30 pm and we will honor your appointment. We have those 30 minute windows to ensure staff and residents can leave before the gates close.
*Please note that dates can fill up quickly. If you are not able to click on the time slot below on the day you want, that means we are at capacity for that time slot. Please pick another time or day.
* NOTE: your jurisdiction is currently in full pay mode. This means you will be charged for EVERY POUND of Household Hazardous Waste that you bring in. By confirming your reservation, you accept that there is a fee associated with your drop-off.
Thank you for disposing of your waste properly!
