Household hazardous waste (HHW) and white goods are two common types of debris that need special handling. HHW should be separated curbside or taken to a specific disposal site. Several collections should be conducted following a disaster event to avoid commingling HHW with other types of debris.

White goods containing refrigerants and other regulated machine fluids need to be disposed of at a certified recycling center.

Collection recommendations include:

• Separating debris by type.
• Segregating recyclable materials.
• Segregating HHW.

White goods should be collected separately.
