May 31, 2025: Household Hazardous Waste Round-up on Lopez

Properly disposing of hazardous wastes is one of the most important things we can do to protect our community and our shared home. If not managed safely, hazardous wastes easily and severely damage the air, soil, and water that we and our neighbors need to survive.

Many types of hazardous waste — including batteries, motor oil, coolant/antifreeze, fluorescent bulbs, personal electronics, and many paint products — can be recycled at the Dump for free year-round, up to certain amounts. Learn more about those here.

To safely and legally dispose of hazardous wastes that aren't on that list, San Juan County organizes annual Household Hazardous Waste Round-Ups on San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez Islands. This year, the Household Hazardous Waste Round-Up on Lopez will take place at the Dump on May 31, 2025. Each household can bring up to 25 gallons of qualifying, labeled hazardous wastes for FREE disposal. Here's a full list of what you can bring.
