Household Hazardous Waste Facility
The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility inspects, packages, and processes residential waste for disposal or reuse. Customers may drop off common hazardous materials and select useable products from the reuse center at no additional charge.
Many products used in our homes contain the same ingredients as industrial waste, yet are exempt from disposal regulations. Leftover products or those unused for over a year are unlikely ever to be used, yet the risk of spills or accidental poisoning of children or pets increases the longer the product remains in the home. The HHW facility provides a means for citizens to drop off these hazardous products at no charge.
