Does Marathon County have a program to collect old pesticides & chemicals?
Marathon County’s Hazardous Waste Collections Facility is located at 301 Alderson Street in Schofield. This permanent site replaces the Clean Sweep program that was discontinued in 1998. Whenever possible, users of hazardous materials are strongly encouraged to use up any lawn and garden chemical for its intended purpose. There is even a program to leave unwanted product that’s still in good condition for others to use. But, when you have unusable hazardous materials, the collection facility is the best disposal option. The following brochure contains contact information of local health department officials to inquire about free disposal of materials from farms and small businesses.
