Kewaunee County Emergency Management requests “Clean Sweep” registration for County
residents, farmers, and ag businesses looking to properly dispose of unwanted chemicals,
pesticides, household wastes, dry medications, opioids, sharps and more in an environmentally

The event will be held on Saturday, October 21, 2023 at the Kewaunee County Fairground from

For safety reasons, those bringing items will be asked to stay in their vehicles during drop-off,
and staff who will be wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) will handle the collection of
items. All items should be placed in a car trunk, rear compartment of a SUV with the 2nd row of
seats up or in the bed of a pickup truck.
“‘Clean Sweep’ is an opportunity to encourage proper disposal of hazardous waste. It’s a
community service that aims to educate and help the environment,” said Tracy Nollenberg,
Director of Kewaunee County Emergency Management.
This service is made possible with grants received from the Wisconsin Department of
Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection as well as funding from Kewaunee County Families
and Communities Encouraging Success (F.A.C.E.S.).
