The HazWaste Facility is open from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The facility is located in Building A.
Leftover products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive ingredients are considered to be “household hazardous waste” or “HHW.” Products, such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides that contain potentially hazardous ingredients require special care when you dispose of them.
Improper disposal of hazardous wastes can include pouring them down the drain, on the ground, into storm sewers, or in some cases putting them out with the trash. The dangers of such disposal methods might not be immediately obvious, but improper disposal of these wastes can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health.
Note for those who generate very small quantities of hazardous waste (small quantity generators). Waste Control accepts dangerous waste by appointment only. Contact Waste Control at 360-425-4302 to schedule an appointment.
