Waste Collection Events

Douglas County Solid Waste offers a waste collection option to Douglas County residents throughout the year. Paint is collected year-round at the recycling centers. Free disposal days are scheduled on specific dates. Our Household Hazardous Waste Facility is set to open beginning of Fall of 2025.
