Almost every home has common household products containing chemicals that are harmful to humans, animals and the environment. When these products are no longer wanted, they become Household Hazardous Waste. It is both dangerous and illegal to disposal of Household Hazardous Waste in the garbage, down any drain, or on the ground. Do the right thing and take your Household Hazardous Waste to the nearest drop-off facility – It’s FREE!
