What is household hazardous waste?
Household hazardous waste (HHW) is leftover household products that are toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive — like paint, batteries, cleaners, pesticides, and automotive fluids. These items can harm people, pets, and the environment if they go in the trash, down the drain, or into the storm drain.
San Mateo County’s HHW Program offers free and safe disposal of these products for San Mateo County residents. You can schedule an appointment online or by calling 650-372-6200.
