The Fairfax County Household Hazardous Waste Program accepts hazardous chemicals from residents free of charge and disposes or recycles them according to all local, state and federal regulations. Hazardous wastes from businesses are handled separately.
Materials are accepted at household hazardous waste community collection events. Upcoming dates will be posted on our Calendar of Events.
The safest way to dispose of household hazardous waste is to carefully pack them up and bring them to one of the county's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Sites. NOTE: This service is available to Fairfax County residents only.
