Disposing of Household Hazardous Waste in Denver.
Ever wonder what to do with the old cans of paint sitting in your house or other toxic cleaners? I recently had this dilemma so I dialed 311, Denver’s free city information line, to find out what to do. They told me to visit the DenverGov.org website to request a HHW (Household Waste) kit to package up my hazardous materials. When I received the kit I called the HHW hotline and was assigned a date for pick-up of my unwanted items. Every resident of Denver has the opportunity to dispose of HHW materials for free once a year. If you have more than the big plastic bag can handle you can pay for another pick-up or wait a year for the free service. I was very excited to get rid of these toxic materials in a safe way.
