Household Hazardous Waste |
| Household products containing
toxic chemicals can be a threat to people and the environment if
improperly discarded. Never throw these materials into the
trash, as the toxic chemicals may harm sanitation workers, or
result in fires in collection vehicles. It is also not safe to
pour them into a sink or storm drain as they can end up in the
environment polluting the air, water, or soil. |
