Requirements

Household Hazardous Waste

Almost every home contains hazardous products, or products that can harm human health or the environment if improperly handled. Examples are: motor oil, antifreeze, automobile fluids, pesticides, drain, floor and oven cleaners, gasoline, mothballs, disinfectants, weed killers, paint thinners and oil-based paints.
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is often disposed of improperly by pouring wastes down the drain, on the ground, or putting them out with the trash. Tha dangers of such disposal methods may not be immediately obviously, but many types of household waste has the potential to cause phyiscal injury to sanitation workers; contaminate septic tanks or waste water treatment systems if poured down drains or toliets; contaminate ground water, and present hazards to children and pets if left around the home.
If you need to use the products with hazardous components buy and use only the amount neded. Leftover material can be shared with friends and neighbors.
Clark Couty residents have a safe, secure way to dispose of HHW. To ensure that proper staffing is available when you arrive, please call for an appointment before you come, at 256-7942.
