What is Considered Hazardous Waste?

Hazardous waste contains harmful chemicals that can pose a threat to human health and the environment if not disposed of properly. Here are some common household items that fall under this category:

Household Cleaners: Drain cleaners, oven cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, and some disinfectants.
Lawn and Garden Products: Pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and pool chemicals.
Paints and Stains: Oil-based paints, varnishes, thinners, and wood stains.
Automotive Fluids: Used motor oil, antifreeze, and brake fluid.
Fluorescent Bulbs and Electronics: These contain mercury and other toxic elements.
Batteries: Household batteries, rechargeable batteries, and car batteries.
Thermometers: Mercury thermometers.

Why Not Just Toss It in the Trash?

Hazardous waste can contaminate our soil and water if thrown away in regular trash. This contamination can harm wildlife and humans. Additionally, hazardous materials can ignite or explode if not handled properly.
