Local Landfills & Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste may be hiding in your home. You don’t have to look far to find products that can quickly become household hazardous waste. Common potential hazardous waste include poisons, corrosives, toxins and flammables such as the following:

Fuels, paint, pesticides, yard care chemicals, many cleaning supplies, batteries, cooking oil, automotive fluids and products, aerosols, fluorescent light bulbs, devices that contain mercury, televisions/monitors, computers and peripherals, and cell phones.
