Hazardous Waste Collection
What is Hazardous Waste?
Hazardous waste presents immediate and long-term risks to humans, animals, plants, and the environment. Many products you use in your yard and home contain chemicals that threaten the health, safety and welfare of the people, and the natural and scenic resources of Tillamook County.
Tillamook County’s Household Hazardous Waste Program will accept nearly all household items labeled with:
DANGER • WARNING • CAUTION • FLAMMABLE • IGNITABLE
