Household Hazardous Waste

HHW man and sons

 

                  

Many common materials found in households and businesses should not be disposed of in landfills and can be hazardous to the environment if disposed of improperly. Leftover quantities of these products should never be poured down the drain, put in the trash, or stored for excessive periods of time.

Please bring your household hazardous waste materials to the proper sites for disposal.
