Household Hazardous Waste are materials that, if disposed of incorrectly, can cause environmental damage by contaminating ground and surface waters, threatening human health and wildlife.

Items such as: Oil based paint products (NO LATEX PAINT), glue, adhesives, pesticides, fertilizers, mercury, household cleaners, lithium batteries (no other types of batteries will be collected), used motor oil (see note below), florescent light bulbs, gasoline and antifreeze, to name but a few.

Note: Used motor oil will only be accepted in 5 gallon containers or less. No 55 gallon drums.

Pre-registration is not required unless you are bringing over 200lbs of waste for disposal. For a list of acceptable and non-acceptable items call Mecosta Conservation District at 989-309-9229, or go to our website at www.mecostacd.org.

This project is supported by the Mecosta and Osceola-Lake Conservation Districts, Lake, Mecosta and Osceola County MSU Extension, Michigan Water Stewardship "Clean Sweep" Program, local units of government, municipalities, businesses, organizations, foundations and individual donations.
