We hold five Tox-Away Days a year at different locations around the county. They are on Saturdays from 8 am to 1 pm.

Tox-Away Days are collection events where Hendricks County households can properly dispose of chemicals, fluids, bulbs, batteries, tanks, medicines, medical sharps, tires, electronics, appliances, and more. A more complete list of the items and materials accepted is below.

The following should not be brought to Tox-Away Days:

• Water-based paints (dry it up and throw it out, here’s how)
• Documents to shred (we do not offer shredding services at Tox-Away Days)
• Heavy trash items (furniture, mattresses, construction material, etc.)
• Traditional recyclables (bottles, cans, plastics, paper, cardboard, etc.)
• Asbestos, lab chemicals, explosives, ammunition, firearms, radioactive material, or infectious material

Restrictions:  Only residents of Hendricks County are allowed to use the District’s Tox-Away Day events. Regulations prohibit hazardous wastes from other organizations (businesses, churches, schools, non-profits, etc.) from being accepted. Please contact us if you have questions about your eligibility to participate in a Tox-Away Day event.

Fees are charged for the recycling of certain items (more info here). Payment must be made using cash or check.
