Johnson County Household Waste Collection and Reuse Facility

This is a great service provided by Johnson County Government. They have free drop-off for unused quantities of paint. Then they combine similar colors together until they have enough to sell 5 gallon buckets for a minimal cost. I got 5 gallons of white paint for $25 and was able to paint my entire toe home before moving out.

I was very pleased with the service. Easy to make an appointment and drop off old paint and household chemicals.

My one and only trip back in 2016 to household hazardous waste was great. We had just purchased a fixer upper north of Quindaro and I can't stress enough how much work it was for a freshly turned elderly couple to do. All the cleaning and painting......jeez, I thought it would never end.
Now, it's my opinion that the entire house needs painted again.

After several trips to hazardous waste, I could almost tell you what isle which of the free stuff is,(in one place particular bldg. Everything is free. However, some isles have varnish, small paint cans, floor stripper,bug fogger, bug spray,actually- anything someone decides they don't want and drop off.
Also, for $15. You can get 5 gallons of white paint which my husband and I found out that taking into a Lowe's or Home Depot directly to the paint department you pick a shade card and they'll tint it for you.
So all and all, H.W. is a huge bargain

I have visited this facility about once/year for the last 10 years, and without fail everyone is very friendly and helpful. This is one of those things you don't have to do very often, but it is a pleasant experience!

I love the new facility

Saves money and our environment

Not writing a review to rate the service but more as a PSA. I stopped in to the new facility on Mastin (the location that shared the wastewater property is now closed). They are still getting things settled. The free store is pretty thin right now and 5-gallon re-blended paints are not yet available. It is easily accessible. The first available appt to drop off hazardous waste (as of July 1) was July 17. As the website mentions, drop off availability is to increase as they get settled.

Convenient.

Why do they make you wait so long for an appointment? I was there once and they are not busy. Almost like they want to encourage improper disposal!

Please expand the hours to Saturdays and some evenings. It is pretty much mandatory to use this facility and the hours are very inconvenient for those of us that work all day, every day!

Appointments are nearly a month out? That seems a bit silly for a public safety/fire prevention service we're already paying for.
