What is HHW?

The HHW Program allows residents to safely recycle, reuse, or dispose of household hazardous waste. Tucson residents can access this service, with fees depending on residency. Harmful household products should never be thrown away carelessly — avoid pouring them down the drain, putting them in the trash, or keeping them for too long.
