Hazardous Waste

Household Hazardous Waste hotline: 441-2005

Household hazardous waste comes in many forms, including household cleaners, automotive products, paint, batteries, solvents, and pesticides. Household hazardous waste (HHW) should NOT be disposed of in the trash, in the gutter or flushed down the toilet. Improper handling of these products damage our environment and pose a serious threat to public health and safety.
Households please see our household hazardous waste disposal page.  Commercial, governmental nonprofits please see our commercial hazardous waste disposal page

The materials below are either hazardous or may contain hazardous waste.  Many but not all of them can be disposed of at our household hazardous waste collection facility or at one of our mobile collection events.  Please select a material to find out more about it and where you can safely dispose of it.  Note that these links will redirect you to humboldtrecycling.org, where you can find out about various disposal options for these and other non-hazardous materials.
