Here are some common types of HHW and estimates of how much they can weigh.* Using this calculator you can estimate what fees may apply.

Car battery | 15-20lbs |
Bags of fertilizer | Up to 40lbs |
Gallon of herbicide | 8.5lbs |
Gallon of gasoline | 6lbs |
5 Gal of driveway sealer (full) | 50lbs |
Quart can of paint | Up to 4lbs |
Gallon can of paint | Up to 10 lbs |

*These weights are estimates. Material will be weighed at the facility. All fees will be assessed at the time of drop-off.
A FEW CHANGES ARE HERE AS WELL!
We have new pricing this year. Latex paint disposal will stay the same, but with a new year comes some new pricing on some of our services. Hazardous waste collected over the first 50 pounds will now be $1.70 per pound (you still get the first 50 pounds free!).
Latex paint recycling is still 50 cents per pound.
There is some good news- Saint Louis City and Jefferson County residents no longer have a one drop off per year rule in place! Please come as many times throughout the year and get the first 50 pounds free with each visit! Residents from all three counties now just have a one visit per day limit in place. We can't wait to see you!
We have adjusted Saturday hours. We will open 8:30 am - 11:00 am. Close from 11:00-12:00 for lunch. Reopen from 12:00-1:00 pm.
COVID precautions are still in place and are the following:
Please make a reservation to make your drop off as quick and seamless as possible.
Stay in your car the entire visit and our staff will unload your car.
We are only accepting credit and debit cards for payments. Staff will come to your window to collect any payments.
