Hazardous Waste
Learn More About HHW and How to Properly Dispose:
Many household products contain chemicals that can harm your family and our water and soil when not disposed of properly. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) are products with labels that state Toxic, Flammable, Poison, Danger, Warning, or Caution and other items that contain toxic chemicals such as used batteries, paint, or fluorescent bulbs.
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) CANNOT go into the trash, recycling bins, sink, toilet or storm drain. They are accepted for free from residential customers at the HHW Collection Facility in Salinas.
