Hazardous Waste
An item is considered hazardous if it is toxic, flammable, corrosive or reactive. The label will say DANGER, POISON, WARNING, or CAUTION. The average family has more than 60 hazardous products throughout the house, including car products, oil paints and thinners, solvents, cleaners and pesticides.
Recycling and/or Disposal: Check our list of options for recycling and/or disposing of hazardous waste, or visit Thurston County's Safe Disposal and Recycling page for more information about specific items.
