A county-run drop-off for household hazardous materials in Ashwaubenon, used mostly by residents with things like old paint cans, cleaners, and other chemicals. Short drives from most parts of Brown County make it a common stop for neighborhood cleanup or projects that leave behind hazardous leftovers.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to pull up for staff directions; there’s usually a single lane in and out so traffic can back up at busy times. Larger concrete pads and covered bays are visible from the road, with labeled containers and collection points clustered together rather than spread out. Bring items in a way that’s easy to lift and hand over-loose bags or dripping containers slow the process. Expect the site to look industrial: trailers, a scale house or weigh station nearby, and clear signage showing where to stop and unload.

Before You Go

  • Keep containers upright and sealed in the car so nothing sloshes when driving; place leaking or open containers in a secondary tub or box to catch spills.
  • Load similar items together and keep them accessible in the vehicle so staff can visually confirm contents without digging through boxes.
  • Plan for possible lines on weekends and during spring cleanup-arriving early in the day often means a shorter wait.
