Household Hazardous Waste

Household hazardous waste (HHW) is anything in or around your home that is poisonous, flammable, corrosive, or toxic, as well as products (such as electronics) that contain certain materials like heavy metals.

It is dangerous to dispose of HHW in your garbage can or down sinks or toilets, and it is illegal to abandon them or pour them in gutters, storm drains, or waterways. Storing or disposing of these items improperly poisons our land, air, and water and may result in both civil and criminal penalties.

Disposal of common household amounts is free for people who live in Salt Lake County at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center.
