Can I bring household hazardous materials to George Mason University for disposal?
Leftover household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable (flammable), or reactive ingredients are considered to be household hazardous waste (HHW). Products such as paints (non-latex), cleaners, batteries, and pesticides contain potentially hazardous ingredients that require special care when you dispose of them. Most local jurisdictions have HHW days to collect household waste. Please contact your local solid waste authority (landfill) for additional information. Please do not bring HHW to campus for disposal. Anyone found dumping hazardous materials or solid waste on George Mason University property may be prosecuted.
