Orphan hazardous wastes are potentially hazardous or unidentified wastes in containers that have been abandoned or illegally dumped at a site other than the generation point with no identifiable owner or responsible party.
If you locate orphan waste, call your local household hazardous waste (HHW) program. To find your local program, view the HHW Contact List (PDF).
For more information, or If you don't have a local HHW program, contact Ken Powell.
