Hazardous Waste

• Household hazardous waste (such as liquid paint thinner, gasoline, fertilizer, chlorine, or garage chemicals). Hazardous waste can be disposed of through the Miami County Solid Waste District.
• Oil-based paint that hasn't been dried. Allow the paint to dry out, or mix it with sawdust or kitty litter before putting in the trash. Or, contact the Miami County Solid Waste District  for other disposal options.
• Medical sharps and hypodermic needles. Contact your prescription provider or the Miami County Solid Waste District  for disposal options.
• Batteries and fluorescent light bulbs. Some box stores have recycling options, or see options from the Miami County Solid Waste District.
