Permanent Collection Facilities & Depots

Permanent household hazardous waste (HHW) collection facilities and depots allow for maximum consolidation of waste.  They typically provide adequate storage space for longer accumulation periods allowing clients to ship only full containers of waste.  Access to greater resources on site for chemical identification, segregation, and packaging allow you to accept a wider range of materials.

Reduce Program’s Total Operating Costs

The efficiencies provided by a permanent collection location program reduce the program’s total operating costs in terms of staffing, waste disposal, equipment, materials and supplies.

Transportation and Disposal
