Household Hazardous Waste

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE The landfill has a satellite building for collecting household hazardous waste from residential homes. An appointment must be made by calling 641-752-0646. When making the appointment tell the landfill employee what you have to dispose of and approximately how much of it. Please try to keep the waste in the original container or a closed container marked with what the waste is. REGIONAL COLLECTION CENTER FOR BUSINESS Any business that generates small amounts of hazardous waste may participate at the Regional Collection Center. There is a fee for businesses based on the amount and type of hazardous waste brought to the facility. Call the Regional collection Center at Bondurant, 1-888-603-2739.

LATEX PAINT
WHAT CAN WE DO WITH LEFTOVER LATEX PAINT?
Latex paint is non hazardous and can be put into the landfill after it is dried up.
HOW DO I DRY LATEX PAINT?
Take the lid off and let it dry out, or take a cardboard box with newspaper in the bottom and pour it out into layers. Add cat litter or floor dry to each layer and let it dry. After it is dry you can put it into your regular garbage. Let your hauler know it is dried out latex paint so he knows he can take it.
