Hazardous waste disposal in Arizona

16 sites in Arizona are listed for household hazardous waste: 3 landfills, 9 transfer stations, 1 drop-off center and 3 hazardous waste drop-offs. The most are in Cochise County (7), Maricopa County (4) and Pima County (2).

7 post hours; none publish a fee in our records yet. A site is listed when its own record names household hazardous waste or it is an HHW drop-off. Limits and fees differ, so call before you load up.

Arizona rules and programs

  • Paint recycling program

    No

    Arizona has no paint stewardship law, so there is no PaintCare network of free paint drop-off sites (PaintCare runs programs only in 12 states and DC). Ask your local household hazardous waste program what paint it takes.

    EPA lists paint among household products that can contain hazardous ingredients and points people to local household hazardous waste collections instead of drains or, in some cases, the regular trash.

  • Battery disposal rules

    Yes

    Car (lead-acid) batteries are banned from Arizona's trash and landfills. Stores that sell them must take your used battery when you buy a new one; without a trade-in they must charge a deposit (store sets the amount), refunded if the old battery comes back within 45 days.

    For household batteries, EPA says alkaline ones can usually go in the trash, but take rechargeable, lithium and button batteries to a battery drop-off or household hazardous waste site.
