HHW -Accepted and Not Accepted Items

The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Drop-Off Center, the HHW Seasonal Facility, and the HHW Mobile Collection Sites accept most household hazardous products. Look at the product label or list of ingredients to determine if a household product is considered hazardous waste. Most hazardous products will be labeled as "toxic," "corrosive," or "flammable." These materials should be disposed of properly by bringing them to the HHW Drop-Off Center.

Guidelines for disposing of household hazardous waste:

Contents should be kept in their original container
If container is deteriorated or leaking, transfer contents to a safe container, and label the new container to correctly identify the contents.
If the material cannot be safely transferred, double bag the old container in heavy duty garbage bags.
Do not mix different materials in the same container.
Place all items to be disposed of in a box and place them in the trunk or truck bed when taking to an HHW facility.
In order for residents to use an HHW facility to dispose of hazardous material at no cost, customers must bring a recent copy of their recent CPS bill and a picture ID as proof of residency.
