Properly Identify Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)

The Environmental Protection Agency considers certain household products that can catch fire, react, or explode under certain circumstances or that are corrosive or toxic as household hazardous waste.  The law forbids placing hazardous items in your trash. This page will help you identify HHWs in your home to ensure they don’t end up in your bin.

How do you properly dispose of HHW?

Placer County residents can drop off household hazardous waste (HHW) at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) free of charge, daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Find our location and hours here.  Check with your local hauler to find out whether they offer curbside pickup of HHW and whether you can schedule a pickup.
