Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup

July 31, 2019 By Chrissy

Recycling Parker Colorado 2011-2012

August 10, 2019

You’ve cleaned your house from top to bottom, now it’s time to dispose of common hazardous household products that you don’t use or need anymore in your shed, garage, and other home storage areas. Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup makes it easy to drop off your household hazardous waste. Just go to Shea Stadium in Highlands Ranch on Saturday, August 10, 2019, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The stadium is located at 3270 Redstone Park Circle, one block southeast of Santa Fe Drive and Town Center Drive.

Many common products found in the home may be hazardous and should be used and disposed of carefully. These include motor oil, antifreeze, vehicle batteries, solvents, house and garden chemicals, compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), fire extinguishers, items containing mercury, propane tanks, paint, and passenger vehicle and pickup truck tires (off the rim). Proper disposal at the Roundup helps prevent the potential of accidental poisonings and fire hazards in the home.

Residents just drive up and volunteers will unload the materials. Douglas County participants should bring proof of residency such as a driver’s license or utility bill and $25 per vehicle to offset the high cost of hazardous waste disposal. Residents are encouraged to register in advance online at www.tchd.org/hcroundup.

Types of Chemicals Allowed

A FREE Drop-and-Swap area is available where citizens can pick-up unused household cleaners, paint, car wax, antifreeze, fertilizer, and garden products that are still in their original containers. Reuse of these items promotes environmental stewardship by reducing the amount of waste disposed of and additionally decreases the total disposal cost of the Roundup.

Residents with architectural paint and paint products can now conveniently drop off unwanted paint for recycling year-round at many locations in the Denver Metro Area. The Paint Stewardship Program is operated by PaintCare and is a free option for paint recycling throughout the year at participating retailers. Visit www.paintcare.org for paint drop-off locations.

Not Allowed Items

The Douglas County Household Chemical Roundups cannot accept waste from businesses and are not able to accept radioactive waste, smoke detectors, electronic waste of any kind, scrap metal, oil drums, asbestos, or explosives.

Individuals or community group volunteers are greatly needed at this event to help with registration, vehicle off-load, and waste processing. Volunteers are allowed to dispose of their waste for free. For more information or to volunteer, visit www.tchd.org/hcroundup or call 720-200-1592.

The Household Chemical Roundups are sponsored by: Douglas County; Centennial Water and Sanitation District; Highlands Ranch Metro District; Parker Water and Sanitation District; Plum Creek Wastewater Authority; South Metro Fire Rescue; Castle Rock Water; Town of Parker; City of Lone Tree; Inverness Water and Sanitation District; High Plains Farms Metro District; Perry Park Water and Sanitation District; Castle Pines North Metro District; Cottonwood Metro District; Louviers Mutual Service Company; Roxborough Water and Sanitation District; Interstate Batteries; and Tri-County Health Department.

In 2018, the Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup Program properly disposed of 398,518 pounds of hazardous materials and an estimated 3,225 households were served.
