Residents may <br />take items for home use FREE of charge. <br />Conditions apply. <br />What is Household Hazardous Waste? <br />When leftover paint, used oil, pool chemicals and other products containing hazardous materials are no <br />longer wanted, they become "Household Hazardous Waste," or "HHW." It is illegal to dispose of HHW in <br />the garbage, down drains, or onto the ground, as it may threaten human health or the environment. <br />Illegally disposed hazardous waste can release chemicals into the environment and contaminate our air, <br />water, and even the food we eat. Americans generate over 1.6 million tons of HHW per year; that's <br />about 100 pounds of HHW for every household! <br />* IN THE HOME <br />Household Cleaners <br />Abrasive Cleansers <br />Ammonia-based Cleaners <br />Bleach-based Cleaners <br />Chlorine Bleach <br />Disinfectants <br />Drain Openers <br />Glass Cleaners <br />Oven Cleaners <br />Scouring Powder <br />Spot Removers <br />Toilet Bowl Cleaners <br />Upholstery & Rug Cleaners <br />Other Chemicals <br />Other Household Products <br />Aerosol Spray Cans <br />Floor Polish <br />Furniture Polish <br />Mercury Devices <br />Medications* <br />Mothballs <br />Nail Polish & Remover <br />Propane Tanks (5 gallon maximum) <br />Silver Polish <br />Sharps (lancets, blood test items)** <br />Syringes** <br />Thermometers <br />No controlled substances <br />** Must be delivered In a sealed biohazard container or <br />heavy duty (puncture proof) plastic container with <br />lid. <br />t IN THE GARDEN <br />Pesticides & Garden Products <br />Chemical Fertilizers <br />Flea Collars, Sprays & Bombs <br />Fungicides & Pesticides <br />Herbicide & Weed Killers <br />Insecticide & Bug Killers <br />Rodent Poisons <br />Snail & Slug Poisons <br />Pool & Hobby Products <br />Artist & Model Paints <br />Solvents <br />Photographic Chemicals <br />Pool Chemicals, including Disinfectants <br />& PH Balancing Chemicals <br />Solvent-Based & Epoxy Glues <br />UNIVERSAL WASTE <br />Common Hazardous items or Products <br />Batteries: <br />- Single Use <br />- Rechargeable <br />- Sealed Lead Acid <br />- Automotive <br />Fluorescent Lights & Bulbs <br />Mercury Devices: <br />- Mercury Thermometers <br />- Mercury Thermostats <br />- Other Devices Containing Mercury <br />Consumer Electronic Devices* (e-waste): <br />- Tablet <br />- Cellular Phones <br />- Computers and Cables <br />- Computer Monitors** <br />- Printers <br />- Radios & Stereos <br />- Telephones <br />- Televisions** <br />- VCR/DVD Players <br />- Other Small Consumer Electronics <br />'Limit of 5 large electronic devices per trip. <br />”48 inch screen maximum at this facility. <br />Residents may legally transport a limit of 15 <br />gallons or 125 pounds of material to the HHW <br />Facility per trip. <br />IN THE GARAGE <br />Automotive Products <br />Antifreeze <br />Auto & Motorcycle Batteries <br />Auto Paint & Primer <br />Car Waxes & Polishes <br />Engine Cleaner & Degreaser <br />Gasoline & Diesel Fuel <br />Kerosene <br />Motor Oil <br />Solvents & Acids <br />Transmission Fluid <br />Other Automotive Fluids <br />Paint Products <br />Enamel & Oil-based Paint <br />Furniture Stripper <br />Latex & Water-based Paint <br />Paint Stripper <br />Rust Paint <br />Sealers <br />Stain <br />Thinner, Solvent & Turpentine <br />Varnish <br />Wood Preservative <br />For other convenient paint take-back <br />locations, visit: <br />wwwSJCrecycle.org <br />HHW FACILITY OPEN THURSDAY - SUNDAY FROM 9:00AM - 3:00PM (EXCLUDING HOLIDAYS)
