If disposed of incorrectly, ordinary cleaning products, batteries, light bulbs, paint, pesticides and motor oil can be harmful and potentially dangerous. Some products may contaminate our soil, groundwater, lakes and streams. Other products can cause fires or contain chemicals&nbsp;that can&nbsp;expose both children and adults to serious health risks&nbsp;if toxic levels of the chemicals are breathed in, swallowed&nbsp;or come in contact with skin. When these products are not used up completely or are no longer wanted by the consumers, and need to be disposed, they are considered household hazardous waste (HHW).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Proper disposal of these unwanted products protects our groundwater, you, and your family. Two semi-permanent Household Hazardous Waste Collection &amp; Storage Facilities are available in Region D to help residents of Andrew, Buchanan, Clinton, and DeKalb Counties properly dispose of HHW. One facility is located in Faucett, MO and another in Cameron, MO.&nbsp; Both are manned collection and storage facilities that accept materials during business hours.&nbsp; The two facilities are open May-October.&nbsp; See the table below for the 2026 schedule. <strong>DO NOT BRING MATERIALS WHEN THE FACILITIES ARE CLOSED.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-right wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/ecLfPxe5V3jUCSqE9\">Schedule A Drop-Off Date\/Time <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/12k-WKHw8xTN2XphS_On8VW1oefmlGT2Q\/view?usp=sharing\">Downloadable Brochure<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Region D Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)<\/strong> <strong>Collection and Storage Locations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-0f5fdd1ca08fff4851ab0b0bf8765408 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Buchanan County<\/strong>: <a href=\"ADDRESS: 51 SE Houseman St. \u2013 Faucett, MO\">ADDRESS: 51 SE Houseman St. \u2013 Faucett, MO <\/a>                                              HOURS OF OPERATION: May through October- 1st &amp;

Here\u2019s how:<br>1. Add equal parts clay kitty litter to latex paint in the can (one part paint to one part kitty litter). If you have more than a half a can, you can also pour the paint into a lined cardboard box then pour in cat litter.<br>2. Stir the cat litter into the paint until it has an oatmeal-like consistency that will not spill out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">3. Allow the paint and cat litter mixture to sit for one hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">4. Throw the paint and cat litter mixture in the trash with the lid off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">5. Instead of cat litter, you can use a commercial paint hardener. Follow the instructions on the label. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*If you have latex pain in cans less than 5 years old and rust-free, donate them to support Habitat for Humanity at the ReStore: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.habitat.org\/restores\" title=\"https:\/\/www.habitat.org\/restores\">https:\/\/www.habitat.org\/restores<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Oil-based paint is hazardous and must be disposed of at an HHW Waste Collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Safer Alternatives for Cleaning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We all care about making our homes and workplaces safer.
