Household Hazardous Waste
Pesticides, engine degreasers, oven cleaners,
oil paints, and many other household
cleaning fluids should not be disposed of in
the trash nor should they be poured down
the street drain.
Toxic products are
hazardous to human health and if disposed
of in landfills or down storm drains have the
potential to leak into drinking water sources.
If you have toxic household products (check the label) you wish to dispose of, consider
these options:



If still usable, consider giving it to someone who can use it up.
If old or otherwise unusable dispose of it properly during the City’s annual
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day, held on a Saturday, in the month of
May. Notices are sent to residents prior to the event giving the date and location.
Consider choosing less toxic alternatives.

Special information about latex paints
Latex or water-base paints are generally
not hazardous in the way that oil-base
paints are. Partially full cans of latex
paint can be solidified using kitty litter,
sand or some other absorbent. Once
solid, cans (without lids) can be disposed
of with regular household garbage.
Empty paint cans, with only a thin film
of dried paint can be recycled with
metals.
