The City of Branson has provided a place for safe disposal of all household chemicals in Taney County since 2007. Each year approximately 7 tons of household chemicals are properly disposed of through the Household Chemical Collection facility located at the Branson Recycle Center, 601 Compton Drive. Unwanted household chemicals should never be poured out onto the ground or into a storm drain, where it will contaminate soil and water supplies.
Any resident of Taney County may drop off chemicals such as cleaners, pool chemicals, toxic chemicals, oil-based paints (no latex), mercury, compact fluorescent bulbs (which contain mercury), etc. Brochures are available at Hollister, Forsyth, Taney County Commission and Branson City Hall. Or download a copy of the brochure
