updated February 2006 Certain products commonly found in the home contain potentially hazardous ingredients. These items usually have warning labels with words like "caution", "flammable", "poisonous" or "danger." If such products are stored and used according to directions on the label, they typically do not pose a threat. When it is time to dispose of this class of goods, however, special care should be used to protect ourselves and the environment from possible harm. Consumer products that are flammable, toxic, corrosive, or reactive are considered to be household hazardous waste (HHW) when they are discarded. Detailed hazardous waste information, including managing and disposing of hazardous waste, is available as an easy to view/print PDF document below. *Hazardous Waste InformationRecycling - Curbside
