*A good rule of thumb is to look at the total of the materials you want to bring to the mobile event and estimate the quantity. If the quantity is greater than 25 gallons, that quantity should be taken to the Ada County Landfill Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. »

Appliances containing Freon™: Appliances that typically contain Freon™ include refrigerators, air conditioners, water coolers, mini-fridges, freezers, and dehumidifiers.

These appliances are NOT accepted at HHW mobile sites. However, they are accepted at the curb. To have your household Freon™ appliance picked up at the curbside, visit the Bulky Item webpage ». There is a fee for the collection of these appliances due to the processing of the Freon™.

FOG: Fat, oil, and grease, or FOG as it is known, is a by-product of cooking many foods. Examples are meats, dairy products, soups, and anything with vegetable oil. FOG solidifies when cool and can block and damage sewer pipes; thus, it should not go down the drain.

Residents can let it cool, can it, and take it to an HHW site to be recycled.  

Please note:

• FOG: For Residents only
• FOG: Limit to five (5) gallons per drop-off day
• FOG: Must be in a tight-fitting lid

More information on FOG can be found on our Wastewater Pretreatment page for residents ».
