Household hazardous waste includes the following types of chemicals:  Herbicides, pesticides, pool chemicals, solvents, weed killers, and oil-based paint.

Note: Latex paint is not considered hazardous, but is a liquid (not solid) waste and therefore cannot be disposed with other waste. Latex paint should have kitty litter or sawdust added to it to dry it, then it can be disposed with normal household trash.

Did you know:

Food scraps can represent 20% or more of the average household’s waste.  Transporting this heavy, wet material to is costly both financially and environmentally. The best way to reduce these costs is to compost food scraps right at home. Composting can be done in a pile in the backyard or in a specialized bin. Once you start diverting your food scraps from your waste stream and adding a carbon source such as leaves it won’t be long before you will have a great soil additive that you can use in your garden, flower bed, or lawn.
