Other notes
- Household chemicals and electronics service, not ordinary household trash disposal.
- County describes oil-based paint, pesticides, batteries, laptops and televisions as program examples. Consult full accepted/not-accepted lists or call about specific items.
- Businesses, schools, nonprofits and places of worship have a separate eligible-small-generator process requiring forms, appointment and payment. Do not treat residential hours as unrestricted business drop-off.
- Address ZIP conflict: county page location text says 49048 but facility-contact block says 49007. Street/city and fairgrounds directions are given here without choosing an unverified ZIP.
- County may close during inclement weather, power outages or lightning; check information recording before travel.
- Medication drop boxes are separate locations/programs with their own hours, not the same as this HHW intake.
