What is the Hazardous Waste Collection?
It’s an opportunity for farmers, ag businesses and households to dispose of banned, damaged, expired, unwanted chemicals, pesticides, household wastes and dry medications, opioids, sharps contianers (household ONLY), and more in an environmentally safe manner.
Who can participate?
The collection is open to ALL Kewaunee County residents.
Ag collection includes dairy & livestock farms, greenhouses, orchards, golf courses, marinas, school districts & veterinarians located in Kewaunee County.
How much will it cost to participate?
The Agricultural, Household Hazardous Waste and Unused Prescription Medication collection is a FREE service if hazardous waste materials do not exceed acceptable quantities. Kewaunee County residents and farmers are allowed to bring in up to 50 pounds of household hazardous waste and/or 200 pounds of agricultural chemicals or pesticides at no charge. Weight in excess of these amounts will have a small fee of $1.50 associated with disposal.
