Special HHW disposal information following the June flood
Recognizing that paints, stains
and other HHW materials are often stored in basements and garages that
may have flooded, St. Louis County Environmental Services is expanding its
collection services through the end of July.
The HHW Facility in
Hibbing will be open Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The HHW at the
Regional Landfill in Virginia continues to operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays
from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; but is also offering off-hour drop offs by appointment.
To schedule a drop off time outside of normal hours, call the Facility at
218-741-8831.
Additionally, four HHW Community Collections have been added to
the schedule. Each is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the dates and locations listed:
- Thursday, July 10,
at the Cook Transfer Station
- Thursday July 18, at
the Northwoods (Ely) Transfer Station
- Wednesday July 24,
at the Cook Transfer Station
- Wednesday July 31,
at the Northwoods (Ely) Transfer Station.
St. Louis County offers free disposal for residential or Household Hazardous Wastes, and opportunities for businesses that generate minimal or very small quantities. We also have a product room called our FREEstore where paint and other household products may be picked up free of charge.
In addition to the two permanent Household Hazardous Waste facilities, are available throughout the summer at the locations throughout northern St. Louis County.
