Household Hazardous Waste

About the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events

Loudoun County typically conducts eight Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events from March through November to collect used and unwanted household hazardous materials such as gasoline and household chemicals, and the events are held at various locations throughout the county, not at the county landfill.  

A hazardous waste management contractor manages each collection event to accept and package the waste for shipment to an appropriate processing facility.

Procedures for 2021 HHW Events

  • Members of the public who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 should wear a face covering as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 
  • The event is a drive-thru, in which residents are instructed to remain in their vehicles and allow event staff to unload any items accepted for disposal. 
  • In order to ensure everyone remains in their vehicle while at the point of service, if items are transported inside plastic bags, the bags must be open, not tied or sealed. Staff are not allowed to open any plastic bag containing HHW.
