Summer is here and a great time to dispose of your household hazardous waste! Join us Saturday, July 22nd for the 10th Annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day! Gwinnett residents are allowed to bring up to five “containers” of household hazardous waste for FREE! See below for more information on what all you can fit in a “container,” i.e. laundry basket, copy paper box, or similar sized container. ***CONTAINERS WILL NOT BE RETURNED***

Start gathering your HHW items and bring them to Gwinnett County Fairgrounds, located at 2405 Sugarloaf Pkwy in Lawrenceville. This event is brought to you by the Gwinnett Department of Water Resources and Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful.
