Sheldon Fire Co hosting Household Hazardous Materials Trailer on Tuesday, 9/23/25.

The Sheldon Fire Company will again be hosting the Household Hazardous Materials Trailer in September. The time has been set for Tuesday, September 23, 2025, from 3 – 6 pm at the south end of the Community Services Center parking lot, just north of the Library. Household Hazardous Materials may be taken any time to the Landfill’s “Swap Shop”. Here is the link: Swap Shop - Northwest Iowa Landfill (nwialandfill.com).

Yes, you may bring old batteries too - IE rechargeable batteries and car / lawnmower batteries.

This is free (except for a small cost for latex paint items, which can be simply dried out and thrown away) and is only available for residential users. We welcome out of town residents as well since the Sheldon Fire Co and Sheldon Community Ambulance team serve the surrounding rural area too. Most of these toxic substances are flammable and getting this stuff out of your home or garage is a good idea.
