Wisconsin Hazardous Waste Collection Programs -
featuring households and very small quantity generator programs
For many years, Wisconsin has been a leading state in reducing environmental impacts from
hazardous wastes. ERC has been able to document such success through data you can find on this
site. This site provides recent and historical data, beginning with data about household hazardous
waste collected in a one-day collection program in 1984. ERC data and resources address: one-day
household collection programs, permanent household collection programs, and programs for collecting
special wastes from households, such as mercury.
Our goal is to provide complete information about planning for and operating Clean Sweeps in
the state. We have prepared this site to assist you, should you plan on holding a Clean Sweep or
simply because you want to be informed of the status of Clean Sweeps in Wisconsin. We supply
program management details and information about Wisconsin's county and municipal hazardous waste
collection programs. Currently, our resources include Permanent Collections, One-Day Collection
Programs, Collections from Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQG), and Mercury Management. Agencies,
educators, and businesses can use this data to improve local planning and predict future needs.
If you plan to hold a Household Clean Sweep, or have any questions or suggestions about the program,
please contact Gabriela Castro at mcastrob@wisc.edu or
Elaine Andrews at eandrews@wisc.edu.
