Household Hazardous Waste Program

The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program is working towards reducing the amount of HHW generated by New Hampshire homeowners.

The HHW Program provides technical support, educational materials and grant money to municipalities to facilitate the proper management of household hazardous waste through source reduction, reuse, recycling and HHW collection events or permanent collection facilities. Click on the HHW Collection Event Organizer links below for more information about the HHW grant program and how your municipality can manage material more efficiently.

The HHW Program also assists homeowners find alternatives to hazardous household chemicals, as well as finding recycling and disposal options for household generated hazardous wastes. Click on the Homeowner links below to find out more information about hazardous waste found in your home.
