Hazardous Waste Collection Event

If you have hazardous waste products like chemicals, paint and batteries, then the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event is where you need to take those items. The collection event is part of an initiative put on by the Mid-America Regional Council’s Solid Waste Management District and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

Paint and paint-related products, automotive fluids, batteries, lawn and garden chemicals, glues and adhesives, household cleaners, and more can be disposed of at this event until trucks are full. Please do not bring electronics.

This event is free for residents of unincorporated Clay County and other member communities of the Regional HHW Program. No business waste will be accepted.

The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event will take place on Saturday, October 7, from 8 am to noon at Mack Porter Park, 1001 North 33 Highway in Kearney. For more information on the Regional HHW Program, call the MARC Solid Waste Management District at 816-701-8226 or visit RecycleSpot.org.
