8. What is Household Hazardous Waste?

• Household hazardous waste is any toxic, flammable or potentially explosive substance that is commonly used around the house. It is not legal for such materials to be picked up at the curb by Waste Management. These types of materials have to be specially handled and disposed of properly in order to protect the waste hauler, the environment and you. Household hazardous waste includes used oil, common solvents and paints, batteries, pesticides and most household and yard chemicals.

• Television sets and computer monitors are also considered hazardous waste due to the lead that is contained in them. While you can’t dispose of them curbside or at the dump, you may take them to the Hazardous Waste Facility to be properly disposed of and/or recycled.
