Hazardous Wastes

We all have hazardous waste lurking in our homes: oven cleaner, window cleaner, flea collars, nail polish remover, oil-based paint in rusty old paint cans. Anything that has a skull and crossbones on the label, or the words “poison”, “hazardous”, “danger”, or cautions you to properly ventilate the area while cleaning, is household hazardous waste and must not be thrown in with your trash. Full list available in the link below.

Instead, please schedule an appointment to deliver such waste to the

Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation through the Eco-Depot Program at

(401) 942-1430 ext. 3241.

ECO-DEPOT is a free service for properly disposing of hazardous waste from Rhode Island households. Since 2001, this program has kept millions of pounds of hazardous waste out of Rhode Island’s environment.
