Leftover household products that can catch fire, react, or explode under certain circumstances, or that are corrosive or toxic are considered household hazardous waste (HHW). Never dispose of products such as oil, gas, antifreeze, batteries, paint, or wood/deck sealers into garbage carts, storm drains, or catch basins. They contain hazardous ingredients and require special care when you dispose of them. These drains flow into nearby waterways, and if polluted, can kill fish and wildlife.
