Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) includes any household product labeled "caution," "toxic," "danger," "hazard," "warning," "poisonous," "reactive," "corrosive," or "flammable." Many of these products can be purchased in stores or online and are commonly used in our homes, garages, lawns, and gardens. It's easy to forget--or to simply not know-- that these common products can be extremely harmful to human health and the environment. Examples of household hazardous waste products include:

  • Automotive Supplies: antifreeze, autobody filler, brake fluid, gasoline, grease, motor oil, used oil filters, solvents, transmission fluid, wax.
  • Health and Beauty Products: hair dyes, nail polish and remover.
  • Home Improvement Supplies: glues, paint and thinner, roofing tar, stains, strippers, varnish.
  • Household Cleaners: ammonia, chlorine bleach, drain openers, furniture polish, oven cleaners, rug and upholstery cleaners, tub and tile cleaners.
  • Garden Supplies: fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, poisons.
  • Hobby Supplies: chemistry sets, photographic chemicals, pool chemicals, pottery glaze.
  • Mercury-Containing Devices: ballasts and capacitors, fluorescent light bulbs, thermometers and thermostats.
  • Miscellaneous: flea powder and lice treatments, propane cylinders, road flares, nicotine vaping devices and e-cigarettes.
