The federal environmental agency page about household hazardous waste, explaining what it is and how to handle products like paint and chemicals.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a page about household hazardous waste, which covers products like paint, cleaners, solvents, batteries and other items that can be harmful if thrown out the wrong way. Many people in Nashville find these items while cleaning a garage, a basement or a shed, and the EPA page explains why they should not go in a regular dumpster and how to find safe disposal options.
We are a private company and are not part of the EPA. We give you a prohibited items list with every rental and help you keep your load clean, and we point you to official resources for hazardous items. For programs, schedules and collection sites in your area, we encourage you to confirm with the local officials who run them.
