Waste Management Division's Special Waste Program helps divert hazardous wastes from the landfill by offering hazardous waste disposal programs for households and for small businesses .  

Staff also screen incoming loads at Lane County sites for hazardous waste and issue permits for special wastes such as asbestos, contaminated soils and difficult materials.

In the spirit of Reduce Reuse Recycle,  Lane County offers a short guide to Safe  Alternatives to Common Household Products .  Avoiding hazardous products in the first place reduces costs and the environmental and health hazards related to product production and use.  Also available here are DEQ's Guide to Disposal and Alternatives ,  and a Grow Smart Garden Guide.
