What is Household Hazardous Waste? Household Hazardous Waste, or HHW, is any chemical or product that can cause serious illness or pose an environmental or health threat if improperly stored, transported, or disposed of.

Most products labeled dangerous, flammable, poison, combustible and corrosive are considered hazardous waste.
