Pinellas County Department of Solid Waste has changed operation days and remote collection event frequency for household chemical collections, effective June 1, 2023. Clearwater residents may use these services to safely dispose of hazardous waste.
In addition, to align with program changes, Pinellas County's collection facility’s name will change from the Household Electronics and Chemical Collection Center to the Household Hazardous Waste Center, or HHW Center, better reflecting the type of items accepted.
The HHW Center and Swap Shop:
- New days of operation will be Tuesday through Friday, and the first and third Saturday of each month.
- Operating hours at the HHW center will remain the same: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Operating hours at the Swap Shop will remain the same: 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Household Chemical Collection Events:
- Effective June 2023, Pinellas County has increased the number of Household Chemical Collection events from 12 to 22 per year at Household Hazardous Waste North (HHW North), located at 29582 U.S. Highway 19 North in Clearwater, to better serve the residents of Pinellas County.
- HHW North events now occur twice a month, on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, except for November and December.
