The Tri-County Hazardous Waste & Recycling Program was established in 2003 through an intergovernmental agreement to build and operate permanent household hazardous waste facilities in Hood River and The Dalles, and to coordinate collection events across the region. Wasco County serves as the lead agency. The program collects hazardous waste from households, small businesses and institutions classified as Very Small Quantity Generators, as well as pesticide waste from farmers and ranchers. The program’s grand opening was held July 29, 2006.
