Household Hazardous Waste Facility

The City of Olathe operates a year-round program for Johnson County residents to safely dispose of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) at no charge. The Olathe HHW Facility offers weekday appointments and a monthly drop-off event where no appointment is necessary.

HHW is any unwanted household chemical that cannot safely be discarded in the trash or down the drain because it contains ingredients that are toxic, flammable, reactive, or corrosive.

Proper disposal prevents HHW from entering the environment, soil, groundwater and streams, or causing harm to people and animals.

The Olathe HHW facility is for Johnson County residents only. Business waste is not accepted.
