Household Chemical Waste (HCW) is a term used to describe a variety of chemical products found in a household that have toxic or hazardous characteristics. Common HCW products include, but are not limited to, cleaning products, oil based paints/varnishes, flammable liquids, automotive products, garden chemicals, personal care products, and medications. When disposed of improperly (pouring them down the drain, or disposing them in the garbage), these products can contaminate the groundwater and harm the environment.

SWALCO offers an HCW program that collects and sends HCW items to IEPA-approved recycling and refuse facilities. Residents are required to schedule an appointment in order to drop off their HCW items. Please visit SWALCO's website to view acceptable items and sign up for an appointment. 

Residents are welcome to drop off their food scraps at the Grayslake Recycling Center, 585 Berry Avenue, or Prairieland/ LRS Disposal Recycling Center, 1350 N. Old Rand Road.
