DISPOSING OF HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE( HHW)
Household hazardous waste is waste that contains potentially hazardous material, such as toxic chemicals, that we often use in our everyday lives.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency( EPA) considers HHW to be any leftover household products that can catch fire, react, or explode under certain circumstances, or those that are corrosive or toxic. This can include anything from paints, cleaners, and oils, to batteries, electronics, and pesticides.
HHW is illegal to dump into the garbage, down drains, or onto the ground since it can leach into groundwater, contribute to air pollution, or contaminate the food we eat. Not to mention, throwing HHW into the trash can be hazardous to your local garbage handler, while leaving it around the house can be dangerous for pets and children. Instead, products that contain hazardous ingredients will require special care when disposed of in order to avoid any potential risks.
All Baldwin Borough residents are eligible to dispose of many HHW items as part of the At Your Door service offered at no charge! Please refer to BaldwinBorough. org for additional details.
