    Home Chemical Collection

    Did you know that many of the products that we use in our homes like oil-based paint, solvents, pesticides, and pool chemicals are actually as hazardous as industrial chemicals? Well, it's true. And the bad news is that when these products are disposed of improperly, they can pollute our drinking water. Help protect Miami-Dade County's fragile environment by safely disposing of your household chemicals.

    Permanent Home Chemical Collection Centers
    The Department's permanent Home Chemical Collection Centers accepts oil-based paints, pesticides, solvents, pool chemicals and other household items. The centers also accept latex paints that are still in liquid form; however, it is recommended that new paints or latex paint that is still in good condition be donated to neighbors or community groups. The centers are available to non-commercial residents only.

    The Centers are located in West Dade at 8831 N.W. 58th Street, and in South Dade at 23707 SW 97th Avenue Gate-B. Normal hours of operation are Wednesday through Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    Commercial waste of any kind, as well as explosives, ammunition, radioactive (except smoke detectors), infectious and/or biohazardous waste are not accepted.

    When delivering household chemicals to the Center, remember:

    • Pack all containers upright in sturdy boxes.
    • Tighten lids and caps on all containers
    • Place leaking containers in a larger container, along with an absorbent material such as newspaper.
    • Make sure all containers are labeled. If the original label has fallen off, re-label it with the contents or any information you have, or label it "UNKNOWN CHEMICALS".
