Home Collection Program
Are you a King County resident 65 or older, or a resident with a disability? If you do not have a vehicle or are otherwise unable to access a hazardous waste collection site, you can call the Haz Waste Help Line to schedule a waste pickup at your home.
When you call, be ready to provide:
- Your name, address, and telephone number.
- The types and amounts of waste you have for collection.
A collection date will be scheduled, usually Wednesdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please note that there may be a backlog of pickups.
- Wastes should be sealed and placed upright in boxes. Regular collection limits still apply.
- Do not put hazardous waste on the curb.
Home Collection staff does not collect other special wastes such as latex paint, tires, electronics, or medications.
