Household Hazardous Waste Center

The products commonly used for the maintenance of our homes can be hazardous to our health and require special attention when using, storing, handling, and disposing. Although, the safest alternative is to avoid the hazardous products altogether, hazardous products are everywhere and there is a special place to take them when they are no longer wanted - the Household Hazardous Waste Center.
