San Juan County's Household Hazardous Waste Round-Up is our annual opportunity to legally and responsibly dispose of poisonous, flammable, corrosive or other hazardous chemicals for FREE.*
Why? Proper disposal of hazardous materials protects you and your family, the workers who handle your waste, and the place we call home — it keeps harmful chemicals out of our bodies, our drinking water, and the environment around us.
