Managing hazardous waste

If any hazardous products got wet or damaged, set them aside in a safe spot until you can bring them in for proper disposal.
Do not open the containers or try to empty them. Leave the labels on so staff can tell what the product is.
If something is leaking, place the whole container inside a sturdy bin or bucket to keep the mess contained.
Keep everything away from kids and pets.

When in doubt, stop and get guidance.
If the label is gone or unreadable, treat the item as hazardous. Do not pour anything down storm drains, sinks or outside on the ground.
Reach out if you have any questions. Contact the Hazardous Waste team at haz.waste@kingcounty.gov or 206-296-4692.
