How Do I Avoid Accidents?

• Never leave hazardous household products within reach of children.
• Buy products with less-harmful ingredients (read the labels).
• Do  not dispose of products in the trash, on the ground, or in storm drains.
• Do not remove labels, and do not remove products from their original containers.
• Do not refill empty containers unless the label recommends it.

How Do I Handle Household Hazardous Waste?

Reduce by purchasing only the amount you need.

Reuse the products by donating unused portions to friends, community organizations, or take them to our Household Hazardous Waste Consolidation Facility in Stockton. The products will be made available to the public for FREE. Just ask to see the Reuse Room!

Recycle by taking products such as used motor oil, batteries, and latex paint to a recycling center.

If any products cannot be reused, recycled, or properly disposed of in your trash, store them safely in their original containers away from food, pets, and children, then take them to the Household Hazardous Waste Consolidation Facility.
