When leftover paint, used oil, pool chemicals and other products containing hazardous materials are no longer wanted, they become "HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE," or <br />"HHW." HHW is any material discarded from homes which may threaten human health or the environment when disposed of improperly. It is illegal to dispose of these items <br />in the garbage, down drains, or onto the ground. Illegally disposed hazardous waste can release chemicals into the environment and contaminate our air, water, and even the <br />food we eat. Americans generate over 1.6 million tons of HHW per year; that's about 100 pounds of HHW for every household. <br />E OMS <br />Household Cleaners <br />• Abrasive Cleansers <br />• Ammonia -based Cleaners <br />• Bleach -based Cleaners <br />• Chlorine Bleach <br />• Disinfectants ■ <br />• Drain Openers I� <br />• Glass Cleaners <br />• Oven Cleaners <br />• Scouring Powder <br />• Spot Removers <br />• Toilet Bowl Cleaners <br />• Upholstery & Rug Cleaners <br />Other Household Products <br />• Aerosol Spray Cans <br />• Floor Polish <br />• Furniture Polish <br />• Mercury Thermometers <br />• Medications <br />• Mothballs <br />• Nail Polish & Remover <br />• Sharps (syringes, blood test products)* <br />• Shoe Polish <br />• Silver Polish <br />STA 71 •� <br />Pesticides & Garden Products <br />• Chemical Fertilizers <br />• Flea Collars, Sprays & Bombs <br />• Fungicides <br />• Herbicide & Weed Killers <br />• Insecticide & Bug Killers <br />• Rodent Poisons <br />• Roach &Ant Killers <br />• Snail & Slug Poisons <br />Pool & Hobby Products <br />• Artist & Model Paints <br />• Firearm Cleaning Solvent <br />• Photographic Chemicals <br />• Pool Chemicals, Including Disinfectants <br />- PHBalancing Chemicals <br />Avent-Based Glue <br />*Must be delivered in a sealed biohazard container. <br />Ask about our Sharps Container Exchange. <br />d� <br />Wa&ws for You a• a <br />Visit our ReUse Room for FREE products! <br />Household Hazardous Waste Facility has a Reuse <br />oom for products that are new or gently used. <br />ns typically include usable paint, solvents, plant <br />fertilizers, pesticides, cleaners, pool supplies and <br />much more.
