Residents can safely dispose of household hazardous waste

Published on February 11, 2025

What: The City of Port St. Lucie invites you to participate in its bi-annual Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day. This event offers a safe and environmentally responsible way to dispose of hazardous household waste and unwanted chemicals. It is a free event open to residents of the City of Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie County. Please note that valid IDs are required for participation.

When: Saturday, March 1, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon

Where: Public Works Facility, 450 SW Thornhill Drive

Why: The Public Works facility becomes a designated drop-off site twice a year, allowing households to safely dispose of hazardous items such as bug sprays, electronics, drain cleaners, fire extinguishers, fluorescent light bulbs/tubes, and fuel. Additionally, residents can bring fats, oils, and grease from cooking, frying, and food preparation in containers holding less than 5 gallons. This service is strictly for household waste and not available for commercial, institutional, or agricultural sources.

For safety reasons, residents should remain in their vehicles and drive up to the drop-off site, where volunteers will assist with unloading items for disposal at no cost.
