City of Port St. Lucie is hosting its bi-annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on Saturday, October 21, 2023, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, at the Public Works Facility, 450 SW Thornhill Drive, PSL, and invites residents to participate at the free event. Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful offers the City of Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie County residents (ID's required) an environmentally safe way to dispose of hazardous household waste.
The Public Works facility will serve as a convenient drop-off location for residents with household hazardous wastes such as bug sprays, computers/electronics, drain cleaners, fire extinguishers, fluorescent light bulbs/tubes, fuels and more.
Residents may bring up to 4 tires, no rims, per vehicle up to 20'' in diameter. Households can dispose of fats, oils, and grease from cooking, frying, and food preparation if they are in containers that hold less than 5 gallons. This service is only available to households, and hazardous waste from commercial, institutional, or agri-business sources will not be accepted. Residents should remain in their vehicles and drive up to the drop-off location, where volunteers will assist with unloading any items for disposal at no cost.
In March and October, Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful hosts its bi-annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day event, making it suitable for residents to safely dispose of their unwanted household chemicals and hazardous waste. During the last Household Hazardous Waste event in March 2023, 21,909 pounds of household hazardous waste were collected from 430 vehicles. This was an increase of 6,375 pounds compared to the previous year's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day in October 2022.
