Any household product that contains corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive ingredients is considered to be Household Hazardous Waste, or HHW. It can be found in virtually any place in your home including the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, and garage. Not only is disposal of these materials down the drain, onto the ground, into storm drains, or in the trash unsafe, but it is also illegal. The disposal of HHW is actually quite easy. Simply gather all of your HHW together and drop it off at a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center (HHWCC) for free disposal and recycling. Some of these centers even have a "stop & swap" program that lets you take partially used home, garden, and automobile products free of charge. Contact your local HHWCC today to get information regarding the disposal of your Household Hazardous Waste. Here are a few of the more common types of HHW:

• Batteries
  
• Paint and paint products
