It may be possible to store hazardous waste in your backyard but you should know the local, state, and federal regulations. Additionally, it is important to take precautions such as using containers designed for hazardous materials and having a safety kit nearby. You should also mark the container with a warning label indicating the type of material contained within it. Contact your local fire or hazmat department for further guidance before disposing of any hazardous materials in your backyard.

Hazardous waste can be disposed of in a certified hazardous waste facility, such as a local landfill. Your state's environmental agency should be able to provide you with the contact information for such facilities. You can also reach out to your local waste management office for details on the proper disposal of hazardous wastes in your area. Alternatively, some retailers may offer drop-off services where you can safely dispose of hazardous materials at specific stores or locations.
