The Stearns County Household Hazardous Waste Truck will be in St. Stephen this Saturday, August 25th. The truck has been travelling to cities around Stearns County over the summer collecting hazardous products homeowners no longer want or need.

Products can be disposed of at no charge.

Items that cannot be accepted are used motor oil, antifreeze, explosives, furniture, household garbage, tires, medical waste, appliances or any other unknown products.  Also not accepted is business waste.  

The truck will be at the St. Stephen City Fire Hall from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.  For those who cannot make this scheduled collection time, the Tri-County Household Waste Facility accepts products year round.
