The City of Jefferson is partnering with Metro Waste Authority to provide residents with a safe and responsible way to dispose of household hazardous waste. Many common home, garden, and automotive products contain potentially dangerous chemicals that can be harmful to people, pets, wildlife, and the environment.

• Toxic: May cause harm if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin.
• Corrosive: Can cause deterioration or irreversible damage to body tissues or materials.
• Flammable: Can ignite or explode under normal conditions.
