MONTCO HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE (HHW) COLLECTIONS
Regional Household Hazardous Waste Events
Household chemicals are collected outdoors, and the collections begin in the spring and end in the fall. We are currently waiting for 2025 dates/details. Please check back for 2025 dates, locations, and links to register for events.
Accepted and Unacceptable List of HHW
Tires
The proper disposal of tires will prevent the contamination of ground water and reduce breeding grounds for disease carrying mosquitoes. Tires may not be put in the trash and must be recycled. Montgomery County does NOT hold tire collection events. For a list of retailers that accept old tires and rims for a recycling fee, click here.
Document Shredding
Some municipalities and PA Representatives have plans on scheduling or have scheduled confidential document shredding events for their residents or constituents. Please check your municipal website and Representatives for scheduled events. Montco does NOT hold countywide document shredding events.
Retrievr
The Retrievr recycling program offered "at-home" pickup service clothing and electronics. Although this program saw favorable ratings, a sustainable participation rate could not be achieved. Therefore, the vendor has opted to discontinue the program. For new recycling options, check out the Montco A-Z Recycling List.
