Household Hazardous Waste Services
Many of our facilities accept certain items classified as Household Hazardous Waste (HHW). Items discarded from a residential household that may be reactive, toxic, explosive, or corrosive fall into this classification. We are committed to the communities we serve to safely handle and dispose of these materials.
