A HHWCC is a FREE, easy, drive-through
operation that collects home, vehicle, and yard
care products containing chemicals and toxins. These
products cannot be put into your residential trash
because they cannot be disposed in the landfills
without risking contamination to groundwater and
they cannot be dumped into storm drains without
contaminating our oceans. They also cannot be dumped
into the sewers as they kill the beneficial bacteria
needed to treat sewage. The HHWCCs accept these
materials from Orange County residents and recycle,
reuse, or dispose of them in an environmentally
responsible way. |
