Hazardous Waste Services

Hazardous materials placed into the waste stream can present dangers to solid waste workers, the public, the environment and facilities. The goal of the Hazardous Waste Services section is to reduce these risks by operating public household hazardous waste collection facilities -- known as Home Chemical and Recycling Centers (HCRCs) -- providing information and assistance to businesses, promoting other collection services and managing various internal Authority protection programs.
