Hazardous Waste

Not Your Regular Trash

Hazardous materials are used in day-to-day life without even giving it a second thought. When you care for your home and lawn, you often use hazardous products.

Often the labels read toxic, corrosive, reactive, flammable or keep out of reach of children. When you read this on a container, dispose of it in the safe and smart way.

Residents can dispose of many of these items in several ways:

• Search the Recycling Guide for local stores and organizations who accept certain items.
• Visit the Metro Hazardous Waste Drop-Off.
• Attend a Hazardous Waste Drop-Off event.
