Hazardous chemicals/materials
The Household Hazardous Waste Program was developed and implemented to provide a service for those residents of Richmond and also protect the environment. This program protects our drinking water, our waste- water treatment plant and our community. It also saves space in our landfill and assures that hazardous household wastes are disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner at no cost to the residents.
Most household chemicals are accepted by the Richmond Sanitary District for disposal. Common hazardous items accepted are: paints, household solvents, motor oil, car batteries, bug and weed killers etc.
The Household Hazardous Waste Program is located at the New Paris Pike Landfill, 5232 New Paris Pike, Richmond, Indiana. At this time, there are no special pick-ups for household hazardous waste items. These items must be dropped off at the program location. The drop off hours are from 7:30am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday and from 8:00am to 4:00pm on Saturdays. The landfill is closed on Sundays and holidays.
When dropping off items, depending on the time, go directly to either the scale house or the maintenance garage. From there you will be directed to the Household Hazardous Waste Building to drop off your items. There is no charge to our customers to use this service and no appointment is needed.
This program is restricted to the Richmond Sanitary District customers only. This is a service provided to Households ONLY. No waste will be accepted from any businesses, organizations or from anyone who resides outside of the Richmond Sanitary District.
