Hazardous Waste
Solid waste, or a combination of solid waste, which, because of quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics, may cause, or significantly contribute to, an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible or incapacitating reversible illness or may pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly transported, disposed of, stored, treated, or otherwise managed. (Regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) pursuant to Chapter 62-730, Florida Administrative Code.)
Hazardous waste materials, such as paint, insecticides, motor oil, batteries, etc., are not collected and should be taken to the nearest hazardous waste drop-off site.
