Some of the products you use at home are potentially hazardous. Safe handling and proper disposal of these materials will protect you, your family, and our environment.
"EPA considers some leftover household products that can catch fire, react, or explode under certain circumstances, or that are corrosive or toxic as household hazardous waste. Products, such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides can contain hazardous ingredients and require special care when you dispose of them."
The best way to handle household waste is to prevent it in the first place. By learning more about which types of products are hazardous and ways to use less, use it up, and use nonhazardous alternatives, you can significantly reduce the generation of this type of waste right at the source.
