Hazardous Household Waste (HHW)
Almost every home contains hazardous products, or products
that can harm human health or the environment if improperly handled.
They are products used in cleaning, home improvements, automobile
maintenance, lawn and garden care, hobbies, and a variety of other
tasks.
Each year, thousands of people are injured by
exposure or accident involving hazardous household products. Because
of the dangers they pose, these products require special awareness,
handling, and disposal. In order to protect health and environment,
every consumer should know how to properly use, store, and dispose
of hazardous household products. Please visit our Recycling
Page or HHW Page for information
about the safe disposal of HHW.
