| HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE (HHW) WHY BE CONCERNED? |
HHW materials are classified into four general types:
(1) TOXIC - if swallowed or inhaled
(2) CORROSIVE - causing permanent damage to tissue or home surfaces;
(3) IRRITANT - causing inflamed eyes, nose, throat or skin;
(4) FLAMMABLE - readily ignited into flames or can explode, even when cool.
Nearly every home has some hazardous materials, generally small amounts, but the collective volume from
a large population can cause severe damage in landfills, sewer treatment systems and storm drainage
systems that end up in streams and lakes. Most hazardous products are water-soluble, and once dissolved
in our waste water, they are not readily removed by typical treatment systems. They should not just be
flushed down the toilet or poured into a storm drain or roadside ditch. HHW materials can also affect
septic systems or contaminate their leach field. These are the reasons why everyone should learn about
the proper disposal of HHW and participate in this collection effort.
