This year's Household Hazardous Waste Event is on July 27th, 2024 from 10am-2pm at Thompson's Sanitary Service (7450 NE Avery St, Newport, OR). This is a free collection event through Lincoln County Solid Waste District that rotates around to all three haulers in Lincoln County every year.

Materials accepted at the Household Hazardous Waste Event include:
Poisons: pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other poisons
Heavy Metals: mercury & products containing elemental mercury (including fluorescent tubes)

Lithium-ion Batteries: all types accepted

A few reminders:
- No containers larger than 5 gallons in capacity
- No cylinders accepted (contact NLSS for options)
- No sharps or other medications (contact NLSS for options)
- No explosives: such as bullets, fireworks, flames/aerial flares

Be safe when handling hazardous materials. Keep products in their original containers. If a container is leaking, secure it with a secondary leak-proof container. Box up materials and seal lids tight. At the event, keep your windows rolled up and locate hazardous waste in the trunk or back of truck bed, so staff may easily remove items.

To help reduce any potential wait times, reservations are available before 7/24/24 by emailing: solidwaste@co.lincoln.or.us.
