Household Hazardous Waste At-Your-Door

Hazardous waste should not be disposed of in your trash, recycling, compost, or large item collection.

You can properly dispose of and recycle toxic products from your home with Denver’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program. Denver residents are eligible for one collection appointment per calendar year, subject to availability.

Please note a $15 co-payment is required from the resident for each appointment.

Only one collection kit bag is provided per appointment, so it is important to prioritize your materials in order to maximize your collection. The collection kit is a large heavy-duty clear plastic bag that holds about 10 to 12 cans or bottles of material.

Prepare for your pickup.

1. Follow the instructions that come with your collection kit. Be sure to label your materials.
2. Be sure the most toxic materials you have get into the collection kit bag. Use the accepted and unaccepted list below to determine what toxic materials are allowed for pickup.
3. At least 3 different types of materials or one material over 25 lbs. named in the acceptable items below to qualify for the program.
4. Remove paint products, if space is not available in the collection kit bag. Most paint products can be recycled at no cost to you. Learn more on our Free Paint Recycling page.
5. If you have more material than will fit in the bag, excess materials can be collected for an additional fee. Please call the HHW hotline at 1-800-449-7587 prior to your appointment to arrange collection and payment of excess materials.
6. Set out your collection bag by 7 a.m. on your scheduled appointment collection day and be sure to include the $15 co-payment if you did not pre-pay.
