TOXDROP

Properly dispose of hazardous waste with ToxDrop.

ToxDrop is a City of Indianapolis program where residents can take household hazardous waste for proper disposal. Over the last decade, the city's ToxDrop program has diverted more than a quarter of a million gallons of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) from the city's sewers, waterways and aquifers through periodic ToxAway events and on scheduled Saturdays. The ToxDrop program is a significant advancement to help residents properly and safely dispose of HHW.
