Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
HHW is the unwanted or unusable portion of consumer products that contain substances that can harm people or the environment if not disposed of properly. Examples of HHW include paints, cleaners, fertilizers, motor oil, batteries, and many other items.
Oakland County does not have a county-wide household hazardous waste disposal program.
However,
NO HAZ, RRRASOC and SOCRRA provide this service to many local communities, while several other communities operate independent programs.
Contact your city, village or township
to find out what programs are available in your community.
