What is Hazardous Waste?

Hazardous Materials Outside the Home. It’s easy to get rid of hazardous wastes from your house and garage. But what about that pile of old paint, cleaning products and other chemicals at work? WLSSD’s Clean Shop program is an easy disposal option for Minnesota businesses with small amounts of hazardous waste. Clean Shop staff can also help you find other disposal resources if you have restricted materials or quantities too large for the program to handle. The Clean Shop program has successfully helped hundreds of businesses properly dispose of hazardous wastes. Whether you have an old chemistry lab to clean out, surplus materials from a construction job to get rid of or have stockpiled a couple hundred fluorescent tubes, the Clean Shop can help you dispose of these materials so you can keep your employees and the environment safe from harm.
