Kenosha County Announces Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event for May 30
Kenosha County residents will have an opportunity to safely dispose of household hazardous waste and unwanted electronics during the county’s annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event on Saturday, May 30, 2026.
The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Kenosha County Center, 19600 75th Street in Bristol. County officials say this will be the only countywide household hazardous waste collection event scheduled for 2026.
Residents from throughout Kenosha County — including the city, towns and villages — are invited to bring household hazardous waste, e-waste, and certain appliance items for disposal free of charge.
Accepted household hazardous waste items include household cleaners, aerosol cans, bug sprays, oil-based paints, paint removers, fluorescent bulbs, pool chemicals, and vehicle maintenance fluids.
Accepted e-waste items include desktop computers, laptops, keyboards, printers, scanners, TVs, phones, stereos, DVD and CD players, gaming devices, and electronic toys.
Refrigerant waste items accepted include refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, water coolers, microwaves, and water heaters.
Items that will NOT be accepted include latex paint, tires, propane cylinders, explosives, infectious or biological waste, radioactive waste, medical or pharmaceutical waste, and commercial or business waste.
County officials noted that latex paint is not considered hazardous waste and may be disposed of with regular garbage once fully dried.
In conjunction with the collection event, Waste Management and 1HOPE will also host a diaper drive benefiting foster families in the community. Residents are encouraged to donate unopened packages of disposable diapers and wipes. Donations will benefit 1HOPE’s Foster Family Support Network.
