Home Toxics
 |
Washtenaw County’s Home Toxics Reduction Center offers a permanent drop-off site where residents can safely dispose of a wide variety of home toxics. We’re located at the Western County Service center, at 705 North Zeeb Road in Scio Township. The Center is open every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to Noon (excluding holidays) from May through November, and by appointment from December through April. Call our hotline number at (734) 222-3950 to make arrangements for an appointment. All services are provided free of charge; however, donations are accepted. Please note that we cannot accept business waste -- see below for information on hazardous waste contractors that will provide needed business services. The Home Toxics Reduction Program provides information on how to identify and dispose of common household toxic products, as well as tips on reducing and reusing toxic products and using non-toxic alternatives. |
