WHAT IS HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE (HHW)?

Household hazardous wastes (HHW) are those wastes produced in our households that are hazardous in nature, but are not regulated as hazardous waste under federal and state laws. Each person in Pennsylvania produces an average of four pounds of HHW each year for the total of about 25,000-tons per year statewide.

See subcategory for information on Dauphin County's HHW program.
