Hazardous Waste | City of Brandon

Did you know that some items that we use on a regular basis are household hazardous waste (HHW)? Did you also know that we should not put these items into the landfill? Improper disposal of household hazardous waste products allows harmful chemicals to enter the environment and contaminate our land and water. It also damages the plumbing in your home and the City's sewer system, so when you are doing your next fall or spring cleaning, please keep in mind what items are hazardous and bring them to the HHW Depot at the Eastview Landfill.
