Toxic waste

Waste that could be harmful to human health or to the environment is known as hazardous waste.

Examples of hazardous waste you are likely to find in household rubbish are:

  • garden chemicals
  • bleach, or other strong cleaners and disinfectants
  • asbestos
  • gas bottles
  • solvents (including paint strippers/thinners)
  • clinical waste.

Paint is not a hazardous household waste but should be handed to the site operator at a household waste recycling centre or put into the general household waste skip.
