Identifying Hazardous Waste
We use many types of hazardous products at home. When we perform lawn or car care, and while maintaining our homes, we often purchase hazardous items such as cleaners, motor oil, pesticides or paint. These items don't belong in the garbage.
Check your product labels. Labels marked danger, caution, flammable, warning, toxic, poison or combustible are a good sign that your product is a hazardous household item. Bring these items to a hazardous waste facility for disposal. Only put empty containers in the garbage.

Business Waste
Businesses and organizations, including non-profits and churches, must schedule a disposal appointment.
This is a drive-up facility. When it's your turn, you will be asked to drive under a covered area and unload your vehicle. Staff may assist you, but they cannot enter your vehicle. The facility can accommodate persons with mobility limitations.
Staff will sort your waste with your assistance, and they may ask questions and provide education. Household customers must provide a signature to verify the waste is from a home, not a business.
Reuse Shop
Reusable household products items are offered for free in the Reuse Shop. Available items may include latex and oil-based paints, stains, sealers and household cleaning products. Ask facility staff to browse the Shop. Closed-toe shoes required.
Safe Transport Tips
Keep yourself, your family, and our staff safe. Follow these guidelines:
-
Put containers in a sturdy, lined box. Prevent them from tipping.
-
Place boxes in your trunk or truck bed, not the passenger area.
-
Use straps and tarps to secure boxes.
-
Use original product containers. Label them when this is not possible.
-
Never mix different types of products.
