Certain types of HHW have the potential to cause physical injury to sanitation workers, contaminate septic tanks or wastewater treatment systems if poured down drains or toilets, and present hazards to children and pets if left around the house. Read product labels for disposal directions to reduce the risk of products exploding, igniting, leaking, mixing with other chemicals, or posing other hazards on the way to a disposal facility. Even empty containers of HHW can pose hazards because of the residual chemicals that might remain. When and where can I dispose of my HHW? On October 13th, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, bring your HHW to the Missouri Valley Recycling Center. The cost per vehicle is $10.
