What Is Household Hazardous Waste? Household Hazardous Waste(HHW) are common household products that exhibit the characteristics of hazardous waste. As a result, these products may be harmful to human health and/or the environment. Many of these products are very common and are usually purchased from local hardware, automotive, and grocery stores. These products can be used and found in our houses, in our garages, on our lawns, and in our gardens.  Because these products are so common and easy to purchase, many people forget that these products can be extremely harmful to their health or the environment. Check out our What is Household Hazardous Waste page for a list of examples.
