What Junk Removal Crews Won't Take in Dane County
Updated
Short answer
Paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, fuel and other household chemicals go to Dane County Clean Sweep ($15 a trip), not into a junk truck. Propane tanks also go to Clean Sweep, and asbestos only to the county landfill on the first Wednesday of the month by permit.
- Paint and stains, solvents, pesticides, poisons, pool chemicals, gasoline: Clean Sweep.
- Dried latex paint: regular trash, according to Clean Sweep.
- Propane tanks: refused at the landfill, sent to Clean Sweep.
- Medication: MedDrop locations, not Clean Sweep.
- Sharps, smoke detectors and fluorescent bulbs: refused at Clean Sweep; check the county directory.
- Asbestos: landfill by permit only.
