About Household Hazardous Waste
What it is
Products such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides can contain hazardous ingredients and require special care when you dispose of them. Because of the waste substances' chemical nature, they can poison, corrode, explode, or ignite easily when handled improperly. Many communities have collection programs for HHW to reduce potential harm posed by these chemicals.
How it’s recycled
A material is reclaimed if it is processed to recover a usable product or if it is regenerated (e.g., regeneration of spent solvents). A hazardous secondary material is recycled if it is used or reused (e.g., as an ingredient in a process), reclaimed, or used in certain ways including used in a manner constituting disposal and burned for energy recovery.
How to prepare it
Follow any instructions for use and storage provided on product labels carefully to prevent any accidents at home. Be sure to read product labels for disposal directions to reduce the risk of products exploding, igniting, leaking, mixing with other chemicals, or posing other hazards on the way to a disposal facility. Keep items in their original, sealed containers to prevent leaks during transport.
Common mistakes
A common mistake is tipping cleaners, oils, or other chemicals into sinks or toilets. Plumbing systems are not designed for it, and treatment plants do not always remove everything completely. Never store hazardous products in food containers; keep them in their original containers and never remove labels. Never mix different products as explosive or poisonous chemical reactions may occur.
Environmental impact
Toxic chemicals from improperly discarded HHW, such as motor oil or paint thinner, can seep into the ground, polluting soil and groundwater. This contamination doesn't just harm plants and animals—it also affects drinking water supplies, putting human health at risk. Certain types of HHW have the potential to cause physical injury to sanitation workers, contaminate septic tanks or wastewater treatment systems if poured down drains or toilets.
Did you know?
According to national estimates, each home contains from three to eight gallons of hazardous materials in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and basements.
