Bring Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) to KFCB’s biannual HHW event.

Alternately, these items can be disposed of in your regular household trash once they are in a completely solid state.

Ways to solidify household hazardous waste and other liquids:

• 1) Work outside, away from access by children or animals and wear rubber gloves and eye protection.
• 2) Sawdust, shredded newspaper, kitty litter, rags or oil dry can be used as an absorbent.
• 3) Double-line a garbage can or box with plastic garbage bags, add some of the material you have chosen as an absorbent and then some of the liquid waste.
• a. For gasoline you will need to use a more rigid container preferably metal and do not line with trash bags. Aluminum roasting pans work well.
• 4) Gently stir and alternate adding liquid and absorbent until all of the liquid is absorbed.
• 5) If possible leave the open bag open outside in the sun to completely dry the material.
• 6) When the material is solidified, tie up the bag and it can then go into the regular trash.
• 7) Be sure not to get the bag so heavy that you can't handle it, or that it ruptures.
• 8) If you leave the chemical in its original container for disposal leave the lid off to show that it is solidified.
