Juniata County Residents, we have a new event for you!! Coming on Saturday, November 7th, 2026, JCCD in partnership with MXI Environmental Services will be hosting a Household Hazardous Waste recycling event! The event will be held at the Juniata County Fairgounds and run from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
What is Household Hazardous Waste? Any household products that can be hazardous to humans, wildlife, or the environment when not properly controlled or disposed of. These products can be corrosive, flammable, toxic, oxidizers, or cause other kinds of harm and often come with warning labels on their containers. Common household hazardous waste includes: batteries, motor oil, paint, drain cleaners, pool chemicals, pesticides, among many others.
For the 2026 recycling event, we can only accept items listed in the event advertisement. Please check out the advertisement in this post to learn what items we can recycle! All items will have a fee associated to recycle them, with most items being recycled for $1.00 per pound. At the event, all $1.00 per pound items will be collected and weighed together, with the resulting weight being adjusted to a whole dollar (ex: if 4.3 lbs of items, fee will be $4.00… if 8.8 lbs of items, fee will be $9.00). More expensive items to recycle include car batteries ($2.00 per battery) 5 – 10 lb propane cylinders ($2.00 per cylinder), and 11 – 25 lb propane cylinders ($8.00 per cylinder). Payments for recycling can only be paid by cash or check!
Note: No electronics or tires can be recycled at this event & we cannot accept 25 or 50 gallon drums.
If you have questions about how to dispose of certain items correctly or questions about the event, please reach out to JCCD’s recycling coordinator, Nick Smith, to learn more! [email protected] or (717) 997-8007
