First Saturdays for Household Hazardous Waste

Residents of the City of Key West

The City of Key West offers a free collection of Household Hazardous Waste (household chemicals and electronics) for City of Key West Residents only on the First Saturday of every month at Indigenous Park, 1801 White Street, from 8:00 AM to Noon.  If you are a business and attempt to drop off Hazardous Waste during this time, you will be turned away.  This service is for the City of Key West Residents. 

The first Saturday date may change due to unforeseen weather events from time to time.  Please visit this page during Hurricane Season from June 1 to November 30 for updates or changes to the schedule.  

Purpose of the Program

The City recommends disposing of chemical and electronic waste materials in an environmentally safe and sound way.  Disposing of these items in the trash or on the ground may contaminate local swimming and drinking waters.  This program was created with Waste Management to allow residents to dispose of these items safely.
