Completed Summer 2010

The Washington County Environmental Center is a collection facility for the county's highly effective household hazardous waste collection program.  This program removes household items that contain material and chemicals harmful to the environment and places them in the hands of companies and contractors that dispose of them properly.

The new facility consists of a large warehouse area for sorting and packaging received materials, a large multi lane drive for quick customer service, and an office and public interface area.  The public area includes a product reuse room and public education resources.

This facility boasts a number of sustainable features that include, recycled building materials throughout, day lighting and daylight control, rain water storage, and site and storm water retention and treatment.
