What is household hazardous waste?

Certain materials are classified as hazardous waste.  These include materials such as motor oil, paints, pesticides, household chemicals, and fertilizers.  These materials are extremely dangerous to the environment and cannot be placed in your regular trash receptacles.  For information on disposing of  these materials call Virgin Valley Disposal at 702-346-5396.

Even though many of these products can be purchased at  your local store, they can still be harmful to you, your family and the environment.  To identify these products, check the label on the container for keywords, such as…

Disposing of household hazardous waste in your trash or dumping them down the storm drains or into sewer and septic systems can be dangerous to your health, the health of others and the environment.  Thrown into your trash can, they can pose a threat to refuse collectors and workers.  Dumped onto the ground or street, these type of materials can be drank by pets which can lead to death or serious harm.
