Dispose of household hazardous waste at Metro Hazardous Waste Drop-Off in Bondurant during accepted hours, or at Metro Northwest Transfer Station in Grimes by appointment! Houseside collection is also available for a fee.
While most items are free of charge (*up to 75 lbs.) some do have a cost for disposal. If there is a cost, it is indicated in the table below. Items marked free of charge are collected then weighed - there is a $1/lb. overage fee if amount exceeds the 75 lb. limit.
**Please note: The Grimes location must keep containers; there is no pouring off. Pouring off is available at the Bondurant location only.
