Disposal of Household Hazardous Waste
UWM's Hazardous Waste facility cannot accept household hazardous waste from UWM employees. The Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewerage District (MMSD) runs a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program for area residents. This program encourages Milwaukee residents to rid their homes of unused fuels, paints, oils and fertilizers and other hazardous waste. Information on the MMSD Household Hazardous Waste Program, can be found at:
