- Do not throw your hazardous waste in the garbage. It can be potentially dangerous and harmful to the environment. Try to find a friend or relative who will take your HHW to one of our events. If this is not possible then take the time to call some local businesses or search the internet to determine which local businesses take back some of these waste classes.
