Rappahannock County will host a Household Harmful Waste and Electronic Recycling event on June 20, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the CFC Farm & Home Center, located at 12645 Lee Highway in Washington, Virginia.
According to the county announcement on June 2, the event is designed for residents to safely dispose of materials considered hazardous by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA defines household harmful waste as any material that is toxic, corrosive, chemically active, ignitable, or explosive. Many such items are commonly found in homes and garages.
Proper use and disposal of these materials are important for both family safety and environmental protection. The county encourages residents to review which items qualify as harmful waste before bringing them for disposal.
More information about acceptable items and guidelines can be found on the Refuse Disposal/Recycling page linked in the county’s announcement.
