Colorado Springs Utilities now crushes toilets and porcelain to use as road base to help reduce waste in landfills and to lower costs for buying new aggregate. The new program is free which helps local residents reduce disposal costs and helps promote a more sustainable community. Toilets, sinks and other porcelain are accepted at El Paso County’s Household Hazardous Waste Facility Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on the second Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Please remove all plastics and metals before bringing them to El Paso County’s Household Hazardous Waste Facility and plan on loading your own materials into the dumpster. The toilet and porcelain recycle program launched on April 2, 2012.
