Tips

Dispose of household cleaners, chemicals, oil, paint, and other potential toxics in ways that protect your family and your drinking water.  Never pour them down storm drains, into sinks, or onto the ground.  Calhoun County now partners with Kalamazoo County’s year-round HHW facility. Contact the Calhoun County Solid Waste Department at 269-781-9841 or visit http://calhouncountyrecycling.com for more information.
