Recyclopedia helps you find information on how to correctly dispose of unwanted items and materials. Please select the item or material you want to dispose of below. We'll tell you whether it can go out with the trash, in your recycling, to a charity, or if it needs special attention.
Each community has it's own Recyclopedia section. Please type an address or move the red pin to set your location and we'll find your community - or choose your community from the list below the map.

Household hazardous wastes (HHW) are household products that contain potentially hazardous ingredients that require special care when disposing of them.
HHW's are products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive ingredients, such as oil-based paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides. Improper disposal of these can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health.
The Snohomish County HHW facility is free to residential customers, while conditionally exempt small quantity generator businesses may use the facility for a fee, and by appointment only.
