Hennepin County organizes collection events throughout the year to give residents more convenient, local disposal options for their household hazardous wastes.
Upcoming community collection events
There are no more collection events scheduled this year. Please check back in spring 2012 for updated information. In the meantime, please visit one of our permanent drop-off facilities.
