Household
Hazardous Wastes
What Do You Do With Your Used Motor Oil, Paints, Pesticides, and other low
level hazardous wastes? Don't throw them in your regular garbage as this is very
harmful to our water supplies!
The Whitman County Household
Hazardous Waste [HHW] drop-off facility, located at the landfill/transfer station, allows
county households to safely dispose of home, auto, paint, and yard related wastes FREE of
charge! If you're cleaning out the garage and have a bunch of these hazardous
materials, bring them to the HHW drop-off facility in clearly labeled or original
containers for safe disposal. A materials exchange table is also available free of
charge!
If you don't want to drive to the transfer station site,
you may arrange with Pullman Disposal Service to take your HHW materials out to the county
site for a small fee. Call our office at 334-1914 to arrange for this service.
For used motor oil, simply store the oil in a leakproof container, mark it as
"used oil" and then set it by your garbage can. We will take up to 3
gallons of used oil for a charge of $3.00.
