Household Hazardous and Electronic Waste Disposal

Proper Disposal

The City and County of Broomfield typically hosts two one-day drop-off events each year—one in the spring and one in the fall. Both events require an appointment.  

The spring event is scheduled for May 6, 2023.  We will begin taking appointments on Tuesday, April 4, for the spring HHW event.

This drop-off event has changed to a new location:
Broomfield Municipal Shops
 3951 W 144th Ave. in Broomfield, CO 80023

Other options for proper disposal include:

Tips to help reduce the amount of HHW generated:

READ LABELS: Read and follow directions carefully!

THINK SMALL: Use the correct amount of product recommended. For example, with pesticide use, twice as much is not twice as effective and may be twice as toxic!

NON-TOXIC ALTERNATIVES: Purchase the least toxic product available. Danger, Caution, Warning, Harmful, Poison, Toxic, Corrosive, Volatile, Flammable, Inflammable, Combustible or Explosive—these words should alert you to the hazardous nature of the product. Choose water-based products over solvent-based ones. Avoid aerosols if you can. Avoid products containing chlorinated compounds, petroleum distillates, phenols and formaldehyde.

STORE PROPERLY: Always store products in their original containers with labels. Store unsafe products away from small children and pets.

DON’T MIX: Some household products, when mixed, can form dangerous fumes or may become explosive. Never mix anything with products containing chlorine or ammonia.

PLAN AHEAD: Buy only what you need to avoid or minimize waste. Don’t be tempted to buy a gallon if you only need a cup. Think about how you are going to dispose of any materials you have left over. Give leftover products to a responsible neighbor or friend who can use it up rather than throwing it out.
