The Scott County Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility and RE-USE Room will be closed from December 20th through January 3rd, for our year-end cleanup and restocking of supplies (in order to prepare for the 2007 operational season). The HHW Facility will reopen for normal operation on Saturday, January 6th, 2007.

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 an opportunity for Scott County residents to properly manage and dispose 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 good 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.
