Anoka County Integrated Waste Management makes it easier for residents to properly dispose of their household hazardous wastes and reduce pollution of our water resources. In addition to the year-round operation of the Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Blaine, residents may use the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events held at the Anoka County Fairgrounds in Anoka.
The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events 2014 are held 9:00 am to 1:00 pm:
- Every Tuesday (August 5th through October 14th) and
- Saturdays (August 16th, Sept. 13th, Oct. 4th and 18th)
Examples of what to bring include: leftover paint, household cleaners, fluorescent bulbs, automotive fluids, and most household products labeled Caution, Warning, Danger, or Poison. Please be careful to secure products so they don’t tip over or leak in your car.
What NOT to bring: ammunition or explosives, appliances, asbestos, batteries, electronics, garbage, medications, medical sharps (needles/syringes) and tires. Integrated Waste Management can provide information on how to properly and safely dispose of these items.
