HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE

The EPA considers some leftover household products that can catch fire, react, or explode under certain circumstances, or that are corrosive or toxic as Household Hazardous Waste (HHW). Products such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides can contain hazardous ingredients and require special care when you dispose of them.

Every two years, Rapid City hosts an annual Household Hazardous Waste collection event. The last one was held October 12, 2019. For more details contact Rapid City Solid Waste Division at 605-355-3496.
