Tips
- HHW collections DO NOT include trash, tires, yard waste, construction/demolition waste, appliances, or industrial/business-generated waste. These items are not defined as household hazardous waste.
- Gasoline and oil containers: If you would like your container back, be prepared for a short wait.
- Paint: Please separate paint cans from the rest of your items.
- How can I tell if I have latex or oil-based paint? Latex paint labels will use words such as “latex,” “acrylic latex,” or “cleans up with soap and water.” Read the ingredients list and look for the word “water.”
- If you have oil-based paint, your label will say “alkyd,” “oil-based,” and “caution: combustible.” The label will mention “mineral spirits,” “soya oil,” “aliphatic hydrocarbons,” or “petroleum distillates.”
- Latex paint is not hazardous. Tips on drying it up are available on the website here.
- Sharps: Place sharps in a rigid plastic container with a lid such as a laundry detergent bottle.
- Make sure the container is labeled “sharps.”
- Do NOT place sharps in plastic bags or have them loose in a cardboard box.
- Empty containers can be thrown away.
- Pack your items, so they stay upright.
- Use tarps and leak proof plastic totes or buckets to prevent spills in your vehicle.
- Please label all items that are not in their original packaging.
- You may be asked to park and wait if you want your gas cans returned.
