    Household Hazardous Waste

    Many items you use in and around your home such as cleaners, oil-based paints and pesticides, are hazardous. Improper use and storage can be harmful to your family and the environment. You can avoid buying household hazardous wastes, using safer alternatives. You can also make sure you dispose of any you do have safely.

    Smart Shopping

    Avoid products with these words. (Products labeled "poison" or "danger" are the most hazardous.)

    • CAUTION
    • WARNING
    • DANGER
    • POISON

    Safer Non-Toxic Cleaning

    Everybody wants a clean and healthy home, but cleaning can expose us to many toxic substances. Taking the non-toxic approach avoids use of hazardous products, which protects your health and the environment.

    Storage and Disposal of Hazardous Waste

    Keep hazardous household products out of reach of children and pets. Store products under cover and off the ground, so they do not wash into storm drains. Do not put household hazardous waste in the garbage or recycling cart.

    Paint Disposal

     

    Do you have unwanted or leftover paint? Recycle your paint products at a PaintCare drop-off site. Accepted products include latex paint, oil-based paint, stain, varnish, and more. Visit the PaintCare website to find a drop-off location near you and view a list of accepted products.

    PaintCare is a product stewardship program that provides convenient locations to recycle unwanted paint. The industry-led program reports annually to the Washington State Department of Ecology. A small fee, called the PaintCare fee, is applied to all sales of eligible products in Washington, which funds all aspects of the program. Learn more about the PaintCare Program at www.paintcare.org/WA.
