Williamson County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event

504e

The next Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event in Williamson County will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2022 from 8 AM to 1 PM at the Williamson County Administrative Complex located at 1320 West Main Street, Franklin, TN.

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Events are sponsored by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). HHW collection events are not county-specific, so any Tennessee resident is welcome to bring items to dispose of at any TDEC-sponsored HHW collection event. You can bring items from multiple households.

Event Overview

When you look in your garage, under your sink, in the basement, or inside your shed do you see a lot of unwanted pesticides, containers of dirty paint thinner, and other unusable household chemicals? If you answered "yes", you have hazardous waste in your home. Please gather these items for the 2022 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event.

Transporting Items To a HHW Event

When transporting materials to the site, place containers in sturdy boxes lined with newspaper to prevent spills and cross-contamination in the trunk of a car or back of a truck. Be sure to keep materials away from children and pets.

For safety purposes:

  • Don't mix hazardous materials.
  • Keep them in their original containers.
  • Keep containers completely closed during transportation.
  • Double package any leaking containers.
  • Place any breakable containers in a box, cushioned with newspaper.
