York County Solid Waste Authority Will Hold a Free Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event
York County Solid Waste Authority (YCSWA) will hold a FREE Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Event on Saturday, May 3rd from 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. The event will be held at the paved lot behind the YCSWA Recycling Drop-Off Center located on Blackthorne Court, York. Registration is required. Online registration is available for residents at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/york-county-solid-waste-authoritys-household-hazardous-waste-event-tickets-1259530332129?aff=oddtdtcreator . Space is limited. A second HHW Collection Event is scheduled for October 11th, 2025. A registration link will be established for the second event at a later time. While attending the event, all participants must remain in their vehicles and contain all collection materials in the trunk or bed of vehicle (not the back seat). Materials will be removed from vehicle trunk/bed by event staff. Smoking is not permitted at any time during the event. Household hazardous waste includes products from the home that are corrosive (drain cleaners or bleach), flammable (gasoline), reactive (pool chemicals) or toxic (pesticides). The HHW Collection Event benefits York County by identifying hazardous waste found in the home and providing an opportunity to manage these materials in a safe and efficient manner. Visit https://www.ycswa.com/wp-content/uploads/HHW-Event-Acceptable-Items-2025.pdf for a list of products that are and are not accepted at this event. All York County residents are eligible to take advantage of this event. There is no fee to participate. Business and government entities are not eligible to participate. The program is made possible by funding generated from tipping fees collected at the York County Resource Recovery Center and a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. After collection, a licensed hazardous waste commercial hauler will transport and manage the household hazardous waste recycling as much of the materials as possible.
