How do you know if you have a Household Hazardous Material (HHM)? Read the label. Look for the words “poison,” “danger,” “warning,” or “caution.” Any product that is reactive, corrosive, poisonous, or flammable is categorized as an HM. That would include products such as paints, cleaners, oils, insecticides, and solvents.
Is your hazardous waste generated from a business, school, or church? Disposing of these quantities is different. Please click here for business waste disposal.
