Hazardous Waste

Weston County Natural Resource District was able to schedule a contractor for a 2026 Household Hazardous Waste Collection. After two years of having to postpone, we’re excited to host this event again. In an effort to keep the costs of this program down, we will not accept items that can be disposed of at the local landfill or transfer station. ACCEPTED ITEMS: Automotive (DO NOT MIX AUTO FLUIDS); Paints/Solvents (NO LATEX PAINT); Lawn &  Garden; Home; Electronics - Many items can be disposed of at the landfill, we will sort to make sure they get treated appropriately; Batteries, devices, and lightbulbs; Prescription medication – Law enforcement will be at the event to collect for disposal; NO: Latex paint, automotive batteries, medical waste (excluding medication); Commercial waste: there is a disposal fee for commercial or business waste. Please contact the District by June 5th for specific costs, and to provide Contractor with advance notice. For more information call 307-746-3264 x4.
