Hazardous waste does not go in your trash container. Hazardous materials require special handling. Every business must comply with regulations, no matter how little hazardous waste it generates. The amount of waste the business produces or stores determines which regulations apply. Visit KingCountyhazwastewa.gov or call 206.296.4692 to find out: • if your business is eligible to receive no-fee disposal options. • what types of hazardous products are accepted at local disposal locations. • how to join a free listing service that helps your business locate useful materials or give away surplus materials and hazardous products.
