Transporting Household Hazardous Waste

When transporting items to the HHW collection facility, please take the following precautions:

• Pack containers in a lined box in case of a spill.

• If possible, bring items in their original containers, or clearly mark on the container its contents.

• Do not mix different products together.

• Tighten all lids before transporting.

• If container is leaking, pack it in a larger leak-free container, perhaps with cat litter.

• Place boxes in car trunk. If you must transport items inside the vehicle, keep the vehicle ventilated and place combustibles out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

• Do not smoke while transporting HHW.
