Hazardous and Problem Waste Collection - MN, ND, WI

Hazardous and Problem Waste Collection

A cost-effective way to dispose of small amounts of hazardous waste

NOTICE: The Disposal Services' Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG) Collection Program will discontinue operations on September 28, 2012.  After this time, hazardous and non-hazardous waste will not be accepted through this program.

Xcel Energy Disposal Services offers a program to businesses and non-profit organizations for the disposal of hazardous and problem waste. Our Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG) hazardous waste collection program allows eligible participants to transport their own waste to Xcel Energy as a cost-effective alternative to hiring a hazardous waste transporter to pick up small amounts of waste.

To qualify for this program, you must generate no more than 220 pounds (approximately 22 gallons) of hazardous waste per month. The types of waste we accept include paint, solvents, thinners, strippers, wood preservatives, oils, aerosols, batteries, chemicals… see complete list.
