Home MenuHousehold Hazardous Waste
Many home and garden products are considered household hazardous waste (HHW). They may have labels that include the words caution, toxic, corrosive, pesticide, combustible, poison, flammable, warning or danger. These products can be harmful to human health and the environment if used, stored or disposed of improperly.
Never pour these products down the drain or onto the ground. And don't put them in your garbage cart or recycling bin.
