HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE

 

Many products we use in and around our home and discard with our trash are similar to regulated hazardous waste produced by business and industry. Products that are corrosive, such as acids and alkalis, are flammable, reactive or toxic and are found in homes, garages, and workshops or used in gardens. Some examples are:

* Pesticides, Herbicides, Fungicides & Insecticides
* Batteries, all types
* Mothballs
* Liquid Paint & Thinners
* Furniture Strippers, Finishers, Polishes & Waxes
* Motor Oil, Brake & Transmission Fluid, Gasoline & Antifreeze
* Solvents & Degreasers
* Nail Polish & Remover
* Oven & Drain Cleaners
* Metal Polish & Rust Removers
* Mildew Removers
* Swimming Pool Chemicals
* Cleansers: Upholstery/All Purpose, etc.
* Fluorescent Tubes (Containing Mercury)
* Thermometers (Containing Mercury)
* Wood Preservatives

These items may be taken to the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Centers.
