What is HHHW?
Basically things that say “poison, toxic, flammable, or
corrosive” are considered HHHW and should be
disposed of in a responsible manner.
As well as, items that “contain hazardous materials” like
televisions and computers which should not be put in a
landfill.
PROPER DISPOSAL
It only takes a small amount of some common household chemicals to pollute a large amount of soil, air, and
water.
To provide a means for residents to properly dispose of
HHHW items, the Charlevoix County Recycling
Program holds two collection events each year.
All hazardous materials are handled by DLD and are
treated and/or processed for disposal and stored in
compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal
regulations.
There is no charge to Charlevoix County residents for
this service. Businesses with larger volumes may be
charged a fee.
WHEN & WHERE
The first collection typically takes place the first or
second weekend in JUNE & is held over by Charlevoix.
The last collection typically takes place the first or
second weekend in SEPTEMBER & is held in Boyne
City. Call 231.582.6193 to schedule a time slot!!!!
Friday hours from 5:00 - 8:00 PM
Saturday hours from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
ELECTRONICS
Old electronics are accepted at NO CHARGE during
the HHHW events. See the list provided for accepted
items.
Electronics are always accepted at no charge at the
Emmet County Recycling facility on Pleasantview Rd.
near Harbor Springs. Call 231.348-0640.

Disposing of unused/unwanted/expired drugs should be
done properly! Please DO NOT flush them down the
drain or send to a land fill. Trace amounts of chemicals
& pharmaceuticals are showing up in our water. Utilize
programs like Yellow Jug Old Drugs, events like HHHW
medicine drop-off days, or the MOST convenient P.O.D. collection boxes.
Here is a secure, convenient, and environmentally sound
option for disposing of medications. Charlevoix County
residents can drop off all unused, unwanted, or expired
medications at any time throughout the year by using
a P.O.D. collection box. All medications are handled
according to the law enforcement agency’s evidence
protocols until taken for final destruction in accordance
with state and federal laws. This includes controlled
substances.
