Reducing HHW 

To look for ways to reduce hazardous waste in your home and to find safer alternatives, DEQ and Metro created a comprehensive handbook called the “Hazardless Home Handbook”. For the PDF version, please visit: https://www.oregon.gov/deq/hazards-and-cleanup/hw/pages/hhw.aspx

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also has ways to help reduce HHW in your household along with recipes to create your own cleaners. Please visit: https://www.epa.gov/hw/household-hazardous-waste-hhw for more information.

Looking for cleaning products that work well and use safer ingredients? Look for the Safer Choice label on product packaging or search for certified products using EPA's product finder: www.epa.gov/saferchoice/products
