It’s official—Fall 2025 Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Events are on the calendar! In partnership with local organizations, the San Antonio River Authority (River Authority) hosts six free household hazardous waste (HHW) collection events each year in Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad counties.
These collection events provide two major benefits:
- A safe, convenient way for residents to dispose of unwanted HHW.
- Protection for local creeks and the San Antonio River from harmful pollutants.
These events are essential in protecting property, community members, and our precious natural resources. The River Authority hopes these regularly scheduled collections will raise awareness of the negative impact of illegal dumping and improperly disposing of waste and reduce waste runoff entering the San Antonio River Watershed.
Planning to attend one of our Spring 2025 HHW events? Here is what you need to know:
- Acceptable materials include HHW, such as paint, pesticides, fertilizers, pool cleaning chemicals, used motor oil and filters, paint thinner, and general household cleaners. Also accepted are tires without rims, computers, small electronics, and pharmaceuticals. A complete list of acceptable items is available here.
- These events are FREE, and residents are helped on a first-come, first-serve
