Household Hazardous Waste

About Hazardous Waste

Many home and garden products are considered household hazardous waste (HHW).  Hazardous product labels often include the words caution, toxic, corrosive, pesticide, combustible, poison, flammable, warning, or danger. These products have a wide variety of uses in your household, but they can harm human health and the environment if used, stored or disposed of improperly. Never pour these products down the drain or onto the ground. And don't put them in your garbage cart.
