Household Hazardous Waste Information (Not a City Program)

The City of Waukesha hosts Veolia Environmental Services for household hazardous waste collection as part of the Waukesha County program.  Any city or county resident may bring household hazardous waste materials to this collection at no cost.

Examples of household hazardous waste include: chemicals, oil based paint, oil based stain, fluorescent bulbs, lawn fertilizers, pesticides and more.
