Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collections held on Cape Cod are a collaboration between Barnstable County and individual municipalities. Many widely-used products contain hazardous ingredients, and it can be confusing to sort out what to bring to these collections. It is common for residents to bring non-hazardous wastes, such as latex paint, water-based stains and finishes to the collections. These ARE NOT accepted at collections as you can dispose of these products yourself. To dispose of these items, pour over cat litter to absorb liquid and throw away; or dry out and throw in the trash. Still confused?
