Home chemical products can be dangerous if not properly used, stored or disposed. When they're no longer needed, they're referred to as "Household Hazardous Waste" or HHW for short.

CONCERNS WITH HHW

Anywhere along the disposal route -- from your curb to our facilities -- chemicals can present a threat to the public, solid waste workers and the environment if not disposed of properly. Residents are encouraged to separate HHW from their household garbage and dispose of it in an appropriate manner.

WHERE CAN I TAKE HHW?
