Paints and Household Chemicals
The Household Hazardous Waste Program was developed and implemented to provide a service for those residents of Richmond Sanitary District and also protect the environment. This program protects our drinking water, our wastewater treatment plant, and our community. It also saves space in our landfill and assures that hazardous household wastes are disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner at no cost to the residents.

Most household chemicals are accepted by the Richmond Sanitary District for disposal. Common items accepted are: paints, household solvents, motor oil, car batteries, bug and weed killers, etc.

Drop Offs
The Household Hazardous Waste Program is located at the New Paris Pike Landfill located at 5242 New Paris Pike, Richmond, Indiana. At this time, there are no special pick-ups for household hazardous waste items. These items must be dropped off at the program location. 

The drop off hours are:

• October 1st - April 30 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
