Household Hazardous Waste

Many common products that we use in our daily lives contain potentially hazardous ingredients and require special care during disposal. It is illegal to dispose of hazardous waste in the trash, down storm drains, or onto the ground.

Did You Know?
Americans generate 1.6 million tons of household hazardous waste per year. The average home can accumulate as much as 100 pounds in the basement, garage and storage closets. When improperly disposed of, household hazardous waste can create a potential risk to people and the environment.
