What is Household Hazardous Waste? Corrosive, flammable, toxic, or reactive materials used in your home, vehicle, garden, or on your lawn.

Why should I properly dispose of hazardous waste? Improperly stored hazardous products in the home may increase the risk of poisoning or injury. Disposing of hazardous waste in ordinary trash may injure sanitation workers because some products are chemically incompatible and may cause fires in dumpsters or garbage trucks.
