Take advantage of the Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Program
Mark your calendars—it’s time for your toxic spring cleaning. Everyone in the region will have a chance to rid themselves of hazardous waste at the dates, times and locations listed here.
A full list of what qualifies as household waste is available at phila.gov/streets/hazardous_waste.html, but a good rule of thumb is anything under your sink or in your garage that makes your eyes water or emits fumes will make the cut. Paint, pesticides, swimming pool chemicals, cleaning solvents, automotive products such as motor oil or brake fluid, lead-acid batteries, and CFL light bulbs, are a few examples. Most locations will accept your computers, too.
