Hazardous Waste
OVERVIEW     HISTORY     IDENTIFYING     SAFE DISPOSAL     TIPS     EVENTS
EVENTS SCHEDULE

Recycle or dispose of unwanted Household Hazardous Waste properly by taking it to these drop-off locations during scheduled events throughout the year.

Those waste materials have a way of accumulating in your home or garage, which is definitely not a safe place to keep them. Make sure they’re disposed of in the right way at the right time. For more information, call the Streets Department’s Customer Affairs Unit at 215-686-5560.
