Household Hazardous Waste

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event
West Bloomfield is proud to offer its residents two (2) annual Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Events during the Spring & Fall of each calendar year. The events allow the community a legal and cost-free way to dispose of unwanted household chemicals that cannot be disposed of in the regular curbside collection.
