Household Hazardous Waste

Safe Storage

1. Make sure poisonous products such as pesticides, automotive fluids, lighter fluid, paint thinner, antifreeze and turpentine have child-resistant caps, are clearly labeled and are stored in a locked cabinet out of sight and reach of children.
2. Store shovels, rakes, lawn chairs, bikes and other sharp and large objects on the wall and out of high traffic areas.
3. Keep pool chemicals according to the manufacturers’ directions to prevent combustion and potential poisoning exposures.
4. Store gasoline in small quantities only and in a proper, tightly sealed container labeled “gasoline.”
5. Do not keep gasoline in a garage with an appliance that contains a pilot light.

Latex Paint Disposal

Please do not bring latex paint to household hazardous waste collections.

At every collection, in every part of the state, paint is the most common material delivered.  Today's latex (water-based) paint has a very low level of toxicity.  Therefore, the Illinois EPA encourages people with unwanted latex paint to use other options.

You can bring it to the Woodridge Greene Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant
7900 Rt 53, Woodridge, IL  (630) 985-7400 
Drop Off Usable Latex Paint starting June 2nd through August 15th - Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the following Saturdays: June 14th, June 28th, July 12th,
July 26th & August 9th
