Event Experience

A Business Electronics and Chemical Collection Event is an easy and convenient way for eligible businesses to dispose of unwanted chemicals and electronics. Businesses pay the County’s contractor to get rid of chemicals and electronics at the County’s negotiated rates.

At the event, staff will ask about the items you have, then direct you to a drop-off area, where contractor’s staff will collect and separate the items for safe packaging and handling.

What to expect at the event:
