From State Senator Craig Wilcox:
Household Hazardous Waste Collection – Crystal Lake
Mark your calendar! On June 7, 2025, Illinois residents can safely dispose of household hazardous waste at Prairie Ridge High School, 6000 Dvorak Drive, Crystal Lake, IL.
This free event runs from 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM and is co-sponsored by McHenry County.
Pre-registration is required, but spots are filling up quickly (click here to register).
Bring items like oil-based paints, cleaners, pesticides, and more, but please leave latex paint, propane tanks, and business waste at home.
For safe transport, residents are asked to:
- Pack HHW items in a disposable box to prevent spills
- Keep “like” chemicals together and separate unlike chemicals
- Secure lids and check for leaks
- Place boxes in the empty trunk or storage area, away from passengers
- Remain in your vehicle — on-site staff will unload the materials
