Contract extended for hazardous waste disposal services

At the March 11 administrative public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners approved the $200,000 second contract amendment and extension between Mesa County and Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. for hazardous waste disposal services. 

Mesa County's Hazardous Waste Collection Facility (HWCF) takes in over 280,000 pounds of hazardous waste from residents and businesses each year, and each piece of waste must be tracked from the time it enters the facility until it has reached its final proper disposal site. 

Approximately 9,000 residents dropped off waste at the HWCF last year — helping keep our community clean and protecting our environment. This contract ensures all hazardous waste is handled and disposed of safely and fully complies with regulations and best practices to safeguard the public, employees, and our environment.

You can drop off your hazardous waste at the facility, 3071 US-50, from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays.
