St. Clair County

St. Clair County owns and operates one active landfill, two household hazardous waste collection centers, and one recycling drop off center. The County also maintains one closed landfill. The management of these facilities and the programs that they support are the responsibility of the Environmental Services Department located in Smiths Creek.

The mission of the Environmental Services Department is to provide long term, cost effective and environmentally sound solutions for the management of waste generated by citizens and businesses of St. Clair County.

The Environmental Services Department is responsible for the management of solid waste disposal services for St. Clair County. To provide those services, the department supervises the design, construction, operation, closure, and post-closure maintenance of the Smiths Creek Landfill, as well as post closure maintenance activities at the Thomas Road site in Kenockee Township. The department also facilitates the implementation of the St. Clair County Solid Waste Management Plan by promoting source reduction, recycling, materials recovery, composting and licensing of waste transport vehicles.

The department administers two other environmental programs, the Household Hazardous Waste Program and the Recycling Drop Off Program. Residents with hazardous materials may contact our office at (810) 989-6981 for an appointment to bring these items to our Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center. This service is available to residents free of charge. Businesses with hazardous materials can call for information regarding disposal options for commercial enterprises.
