§ 79840 Household Hazardous Waste Programs

• •This law is about special programs that collect dangerous waste from homes and small businesses.
• •These programs take the waste to safe places where it can be treated or thrown away properly.
• •The goal is to keep harmful stuff out of regular trash to protect people and the environment.

You have old paint cans, batteries, or cleaning chemicals at home that you don’t need anymore.

Instead of throwing them in the trash, you can take them to a special drop-off place. They’ll make sure these dangerous items are handled safely so they don’t hurt anyone or pollute the earth.
