Toxic, corrosive, reactive and flammable materials present common household disposal challenges. They can contaminate the air, soil, wastewater treatment systems and drinking water supplies if managed or disposed of improperly. These materials may also be a health risk to family members, especially children, if handled improperly.
For this reason, MWA established the Regional Collection Center – a place where residents can bring their household hazardous waste and pay no drop-off fee. Minimal fees do apply with latex paint, electronics, tires, oil containers larger than five gallons
and loads larger than 75 pounds.
