Denton County offers free vouchers to residents hoping to dispose of household hazardous waste.
Products containing chemicals that can be harmful if not disposed properly are considered HHW. This includes chemical cleaners, light bulbs, fuel, paints and pesticides.
“We don't want you to put [HHW] in the trash,” Denton County Director of Development Services Stephen Belknap said. “Most of what we're trying to protect is either in groundwater or surface water. Obviously, liquids can seep into the aquifer and groundwater. Eventually, that stuff gets to our lakes.”
