SCISWA is partnering with Metro Waste Authority and Knoxville community to provide residents with a safe and responsible way to dispose of household hazardous waste. Many common home, garden, and automotive products contain chemicals that can be harmful to people, pets, wildlife, and the environment.
If a product label includes words such as “danger,” “poison,” “warning,” or “caution,” it may be hazardous. Household products should also be considered hazardous if they have one or more of these characteristics:
Toxic: May cause harm if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin
Corrosive: Can cause deterioration or irreversible damage to body tissues or materials
Flammable: Can ignite or explode under normal conditions
Reactive: Can explode when exposed to heat, sudden shock, pressure, or incompatible substances
More information on materials that are accepted and not accepted can be found at www.sciswa.org
