What happens to the material after I drop it off?
Many of the items that people bring in for disposal are still usable. All usable items are available free to the public at the Reuse Center at the SLVSWMF. The center has paint, pesticides, fertilizers and much more.
Items that are not reusable but can be recycled are sorted and shipped to different recycling manufacturers. They make other products from the materials they receive.
Some of the products that can be made from the materials are paint primer, caulking, and lubricants. Items that cannot be reused are sent to facilities where the material is safely destroyed in 1400 degree Fahrenheit incinerators. Information courtesy of the Salt Lake Valley Health Department.
What else can be done about household hazardous waste?
Disposal of household hazardous waste down sewers, storm drains, or in the garbage can pose environmental and safety concerns. Improperly stored chemicals can cause house fires and accidental poisonings. Water quality is a very important issue for Salt Lake County because of its limited water supply and large population base. We need to do everything possible to protect and preserve the quality of our ground and surface waters. More information.
