New Yorkers generate about 8,500 tons of so-called Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) each year, not to mention what we store in basements and under our kitchen sinks.

Thanks to a new annual collection program, residents can safely dispose of hazardous substances such as household cleaners, 樟脑球, hobby supplies, 胶水, 指甲油, 电池, 油漆, 农药, medicine and more at 的 NYC Department of Sanitation’s NYC SAFE Disposal Events coming to each borough this spring.
