Hazardous Waste Depot

Hazardous waste is the most dangerous type of waste and can pose serious risks to human health and the environment. In some cases, the harmful effects of hazardous materials may not be immediately visible and can take years to appear. Proper disposal helps protect residents, municipal staff, and the natural environment.
