Household Hazardous Waste
What is household hazardous waste?
- Flammable liquids, such as gasoline, paint thinners, diesel fuel, paints, and aerosols
- Corrosive wastes, including pool chemicals, degreasers, rust removers, and other household cleaners
- Toxic liquids and solids, such as pesticides, herbicides and even mercury (both elemental and in manufactured articles)
Can HHW be recycled?
- Latex or water-based paints can have their useful lives prolonged through recycling or use in other products.
- Flammable liquids can be reclaimed for use as alternative fuels
- Many universal wastes are recyclable, such as fluorescent bulbs and many batteries.
How can we help you?
ACTenviro works with states, counties, and cities on the management of environmental services including providing solutions for the management of household hazardous waste. Our focus is to provide services that associate with transportation and disposal of HHW waste. ACTenviro is currently performing HHW services under several contracts in the following states: Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington State.
Why should you trust us?
When it comes to the handling, transportation, and disposal of HHW, ACTenviro carefully considers these main points:
- The safety of the family members and the municipal workers that may come into contact these wastes
- The diversion of these hazardous materials from municipal landfills
That is why, over the years, the ACTenviro team has developed a perfected system for the HHW management methods of collection, segregation, and packaging of hazardous waste materials for several municipalities.
Since waste management regulations and processes are continuously improving, we also strive to regularly evaluate our procedures for HHW collection and management.
ACTenviro also takes into consideration the specific HHW collection needs per community. We understand that some communities benefit from one-day HHW collection events, while some have fixed waste facilities for ongoing HHW collection events.
