Hazardous Waste
Household and business products for cleaning, painting, automotive, and other uses can all be hazardous. That means we all create hazardous waste at times, along with our regular garbage.
Proper handling of hazardous waste protects the health of humans, animals, and Puget Sound. Snohomish County Health Department’s Safe Environments program regulates hazardous waste that is considered “moderate risk,” such as:
- Antifreeze
- Gasoline
- Oil-based paints
- Pesticides
- Solvents
- Waste oil
We Provide
- Illegal drug lab hazards review
- Pollution prevention assistance to small businesses
- Complaint investigation and enforcement regarding waste handling and disposal
- Waste screening determination (PDF) for proper characterization and disposal

Did You Know?
Every time it rains, contaminants from our roads and yards are washed into Puget Sound. What you have around your house, how you store it, and how you get rid of it does matter.
