WHAT IS HHW?
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is leftover household products that contain corrosive, toxic,
ignitable, or reactive ingredients that require careful disposal.
What are the benefits of proper HHW recycling and disposal?
✓ Conserves resources and energy that would be expended in the production of more
products
✓ Reuse of HHW products saves money and reduces the need for generating hazardous
substances
✓ Prevents pollution that could endanger human health and the environment.
