PROTECT
OUR ENVIRONMENT FROM
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE!
The HHW Program, a joint project
between the City of Tucson and Pima County, is designed
to collect household hazardous waste from residents of
our community. The HHW Program is operated by the City
of Tucson.
Common household and automotive
products become a hazard to the environment when disposed
of improperly. Leftover quantities of these products
should never be poured down the drain,
put in trash, or stored for excessive periods of time.
Bring them to the household waste collection sites for
safe disposal at no charge.
