    Household Hazardous Waste
    The best way to recycle HHW is to use all non-hazardous materials whenever possible. Dover, NH Community Services has a comprehensive list of     environmentally-friendly alternatives to HHW. Not only do they work as well as the "chemical products", but in most cases they are cheaper, too.

    If you must use a hazardous material, only buy what you need and use it all up if possible. Don't buy the 5-gallon size if all you need is a half-gallon, even if the 5-gallon size is "a better deal". If you have household hazardous wastes to dispose of, please bring them to the District's HHW collection events. The District's events are usually held in the fall; check the District's home page in the fall for more information.

    Wood Waste and Yard Waste
    If your business generates a quantity of woody wastes that can not be disposed on-site, call JDS Landscape Supply in Columbiana or Wood Waste Recycling in Pennsylvania.
    JDS Landscape Supply (330) 457-7515
    Wood Waste Recycling (724) 947-9445

    JDS Landscape Supply is also a Class 4 Compost Facility that accepts leaves and yard waste.

     Paint
    When buying paint, choose latex-based paints instead of oil-based. Latex paints clean up with water, which eliminates the need for thinner (a hazardous material). Only buy what you need (e.g., quarts instead of gallons). If you have any paint left over, donate it to a community organization, theater groups, schools or you neighbor. Small amounts of left-over paint can be dried up and the empty steel can disposed at the     Scrap Metal recyclers listed below. Latex paint is not hazardous. If you have a lot of latex paint and are unable to donate it, pour cat litter (or other absorbent) into the paint can. Once all the paint has been absorbed, place the paint can/cat litter into your garbage can. See the Latex page for more information.
