Thurston County's WasteMobile
The Thurston County WasteMobile offers a convenient way to dispose of
household toxic products without having to drive to
HazoHouse on Hogum Bay Road. The WasteMobile is a traveling
collection station where residents can dispose of household poisonous
products free-of-charge.
The dates of future WasteMobile events will be posted on this web page
as plans are finalized.
Please Transport Materials Safely
Keep products in original containers. Never mix different products.
Make sure items are well sealed, lids tight, placed in leak-proof tub or
