Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Events
SCISWA is partnering with Metro Waste Authority to provide residents with a safe and responsible way to dispose of household hazardous waste. Many common home, garden, and automotive products contain chemicals that can be harmful to people, pets, wildlife, and the environment.
If a product label includes words such as “danger,” “poison,” “warning,” or “caution,” it may be hazardous. Household products should also be considered hazardous if they have one or more of these characteristics:
- Toxic: May cause harm if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin
- Corrosive: Can cause deterioration or irreversible damage to body tissues or materials
- Flammable: Can ignite or explode under normal conditions
- Reactive: Can explode when exposed to heat, sudden shock, pressure, or incompatible substances
