Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event
What is Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)?
Hazardous waste is any discarded material that threatens public health, safety, and the environment due to its chemical nature. Throwing these materials in the trash or sewer system puts oceans and groundwater at risk.
Some household hazardous wastes can be identified by having one of these words on the label:
- Flammable or combustible - can be set on fire easily
- Explosive or reactive - can detonate or explode through exposure to heat, sudden shock, or pressure.
- Corrosive - can destroy and cause burns to the skin and other living tissues.
- Toxic or poison - capable of causing injury or death through ingestion, inhalation, absorption, or injection.
