What is household hazardous waste?

Never pour household hazardous waste down the drain, dump it on the ground, or dump it into a storm drain. If you are ready to throw out an unwanted product, check the label first. If a product is hazardous, it will probably have one of the following words on its label:

Danger
Warning
Caution
Poisonous
Combustible
Corrosive
Toxic
Flammable

You can also use Recology’s WhatBin tool to look up any item to see if it qualifies as household hazardous waste, or look at a list of common hazardous waste items.
