HHW materials include motor oil and their containers, solvents, gasoline, BBQ starter, anti-freeze, household cleaning products, compact fluorescent light bulbs, pesticides, aerosol cans, and other containers under pressure such as bear spray and propane canisters. Please make sure your containers are identified.

Commercial hazardous waste, 45 gallon drums, electronic waste, and biomedical waste are not accepted, and regular tipping fees apply for all non-household hazardous waste.
