What is Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)?
HHWs are common, everyday products we use in our homes that can pre-
sent a threat or risk to people or the environment. When HHW is not cor-
rectly disposed, it can enter our storm sewers and waterways. Improperly
disposing of these items into storm sewers or by dumping them onto the
ground allows storm water runoff to pick them up and carry them into our
waterways. We need to do everything possible to protect and preserve the
quality of our water. We can all make a difference with a few simple steps:
• Know what HHW is and properly dispose of anything marked "danger", "caution,"
"warning," or "toxic."
• Read labels & purchase nonhazardous options when possible.
• Purchase only what you need to avoid disposal of excess materials.
• Never place toxic materials in your trash or dump them down sinks, storm drains or
on the ground —this is dangerous and Illegal.
Alternatives for an Eco-Friendly Environment:
-Clean your windows with vinegar & water solution
• Scour pots & pans with baking soda, salt or borax.
• Clean the toilet with flat cola, borax or baking soda.
• Prevent clogged drains by using a baking soda & vinegar solution
• Use low or no -phosphate detergents.
