Protecting Our Drinking Water: Proper Disposal of Household Hazardous Waste

Water supply sources are vulnerable to contamination from the improper use, handling, and disposal of common household hazardous materials. We all must take steps to protect our source water areas by disposing of these materials safely.

To support this effort, many New Hampshire municipalities, with funding from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), organize Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days. These events offer residents a safe way to dispose of harmful substances and help ensure the safety of our water supply.

Let’s work together to keep our water clean and safe for everyone.
