Household hazardous waste includes products with toxic ingredients or components which require special disposal to prevent pollution to waterways, groundwater, air, and soil, as well as to prevent poisoning or otherwise endangering humans, pets, or wildlife. Many of the products we use for cleaning, painting, gluing, automotive, pool, lawn, medications, and electronic components.

Household hazardous waste does not include industrial waste or construction debris which must be disposed of according to specialized regulations and are not accepted at drop-off events.
