The Scott County Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility and RE-USE Room will be closed from December 22nd through January 5th, to allow the facility staff to clean and restock the facility in preparation for the 2008 operational season. This means that the last day to drop off your HHW in 2007 will be Wednesday, December 19th. The HHW Facility will reopen for normal operation on Wednesday, January 9th.

The Scott County HHW Facility and RE-USE Room are located at 588 Country Trail East (Hwy 282) in Spring Lake Township, just ½ miles west of the intersection of MN Highways 13 and 282 and County Road 17. The HHW Facility provides Scott County residents an opportunity for proper management and disposal of hazardous household chemicals (such as paint, stain, varnish, paint strippers, solvents, pesticides, automotive chemicals, household cleaning chemicals, used fluorescent bulbs, etc), while the RE-USE Room contains hundreds of usable products that are available for you to take home and use for free!

The HHW Facility is normally open on Wednesdays from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The RE-USE Room is open on those same days, but it does close 15 minutes earlier than the HHW Facility.
