What is Hazardous Waste (from the Hamilton County Website):
Many of the items you use everyday in home improvement projects, lawn and garden care, and automobile maintenance can be hazardous to your health and the environment if disposed of improperly. Typical hazardous products include pesticides, automotive products, home improvement products (varnish, stain, paint thinner, paint stripper, adhesives), and cleaning products (drain cleaner, pool chemicals, ammonia, bleach). The average home contains 60 to 100 pounds of hazardous chemicals.
To determine if a product is hazardous, check the label for key words like caution, warning, dangerous, and poison.
After the free collection ends, you will still want to make sure your hazardous waste doesn’t go into the landfill or the waterways. Visit the Hamilton County Solid Waste District website for more information about regular hazardous waste collection.
