HAZZARDOUS WASTE

Hazzardous Waste

All waste streams are different. So is the way they're handled. With common hazardous waste and hard to dispose of items, a more specialized approach is necessary. Due to safety concerns, not all items can be collected with your normal trash pickup and hazardous materials, if not properly disposed of, may have an adverse impact on the environment.

Waste Management has decades of experience managing these materials responsibly and can remove them with our trained employers. Or, if the service isn't available in your area, you can instead bring your excess to one of hundreds of convenient drop-off locations. We're here to help make disposing of these potentially dangerous items not only easy but safe for your household or your business.
