“Some leftover or used household products contain chemicals that can present safety concerns if not managed properly. These products are often called household hazardous waste (HHW) and can include items such as:

Paints (oil-based or some anti-mildew latex): Limit of 25 gallons per vehicle

Fluorescent light bulbs (including CFLs)

Fuels (gasoline, propane, diesel)

Corrosive cleaners (such as drain cleaner and lye-based oven cleaner)

Pesticides

Pool chlorine and acid

Wood stains or varnishes

Mercury

If generated by a household, these materials are not required to be handled as hazardous waste and can often be placed in your trash. 

*Latex (water base) paint, once completely dried, can be thrown out with normal household trash.  Adding cat litter to the paint will help dry it out.  For larger quantities of paint, consider donating it to an organization or school.  For cleaners and pesticides, it is best if placing in the trash, that they are separated into individual plastic bags. Some residents seek to dispose of their HHW in a more protective manner, such as a Hazardous Waste Collection.”
