Chances are you have most, if not all, of these in your home/garage right now. But these common household products can pose a threat to our health and the environment if they are not properly disposed. Pouring them down the sink or storm drain or throwing in the trash could contaminate the streams and lakes that supply our drinking water.

To avoid contaminating our water, Upper Trinity Regional Water District provides a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program for Denton County area communities.
