Household Hazardous Waste Disposal

Many of the products we use every day are considered hazardous. They can be readily identified by certain signal words such as "danger," "warning," "caution," or "poisonous" found on their labels. These products can be harmful to humans, animals, and the environment if not disposed of properly. Weld County residents can dispose of these products for free at one of two facilities operated by the county.

Weld County Large Item Disposal Voucher Program

Clean up without the cost! Dispose of your large items with ease, with a free pass to the Front Range Landfill, courtesy of Weld County.

The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment is offering a limited number of vouchers for one free trip to the Front Range Landfill, located at 1830 Weld County Rd 5, Erie, CO 80516. This is a great opportunity for residents to responsibly dispose of large items, such as mattresses, couches, tables, etc., at no cost.

Acceptable Containers and Weight Limit

The Weld County Household Hazardous Waste Program will not accept waste brought in containers larger than 5 gallons. All containers also must be intact and not leaking. Please do not bring your hazardous waste to us in plastic bags. We must be able to see all waste that is brought in, and we will not sort through bags or boxes to determine if your items are acceptable. 

There is a 200-pound limit per drop off, per day of operation, per household. If you have more than 200 pounds, you will be asked to return on another regular day of operation to bring in the remainder.  

The Household Hazardous Waste Program staff will have full discretion in making these decisions.

Electronics Recycling

In our ever-busy world we rely on an ever-growing and constantly changing supply of electronic products.  With newer, more hi-tech electronics continuously becoming available to fit our lifestyles, we are replacing older models at rapid rates with no signs of slowing down.  As a result, electronics are becoming one of the fastest growing portions of America’s trash.

Recycling acceptable electronics not only helps keep substances, like lead and mercury, from harming people or the environment, it provides over 120 million pounds of material, including steel, glass, plastic, and precious metals for manufacturing or new products.  

For more information and a list of electronics recyclers in Colorado, visit Colorado Department of Public Health And Environment Information on Residential Electronics and Computer Waste.
