This material either goes to the landfill, a labeled container or a designated location on the landfill property. Waste that is disposed at HHM is sorted by the staff into one of over 30 different waste streams.

Unauthorized users will be referred to law enforcement. Salvaging of discarded materials is not allowed. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle First!! It may sound strange for a Solid Waste Department, but keeping material out of the landfill is our primary objective. We are very proud of our 45% diversion rate. This means that only 55% of the things you throw away go into the landfill. It’s our goal to recycle and divert even more. So before you throw things in the trash or bring those items to us for disposal, consider if some other person or organization might be able to use it. Below are a few examples of where to take some of those discards.
