Have you ever wondered what to do with old paint, household cleaners, or weed killer? For Johnson County residents there are two options for getting rid of these items, and many more. Both Johnson County government and the City of Olathe operate household hazardous waste (HHW) collection facilities that collect and safely dispose of a wide range of household chemicals, and is free for Johnson County residents to use. Accepted items include paint, stain, weed killer, cleaners, used oil, aerosols, and much more. 

Due to a nationwide shortage of tuberculin used for tuberculosis skin testing (TST), routine tuberculosis (TB) testing will NOT be available at the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment (JCDHE). However, the TB blood test is an option offered at JCDHE.
