City of Austin Household Hazardous Waste Facility

Got something toxic in your life? Flammable, corrosive, poisonous, or reactive? Then Travis County wants to tell you where to stick it – their Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Don’t dump paint down the sink or chuck that old carton of Miracle Grow in the trash; might as well drink it, because it’ll just end up in our water supply. Instead, the drive-up hazmat facility in South Austin is eager to rid you of that spare edger fuel, mercury thermometer, or rusty can of lacquer. It’s quick, convenient, friendly, and could mean another human generation born without gills or a third eye.
