Many common household products contain hazardous materials. These products can be harmful to our health and pollute our air, land and water if they are not used, stored or disposed of properly.
Yard waste includes leaves, brush, grass clippings, and other plant material. State law prohibits the disposal of yard waste such as leaves, branches, weeds, and grass clippings in the trash.
