HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE

Tips for Becoming an Environmentally Aware Consumer

Many products used in the home, garden, garage, and hobby shop contain hazardous chemicals that can potentially harm the user or the environment. Items marked as follows should be considered hazardous: “caution” “causes severe burns on contact” “danger” “do not use near heat or flame” “eye and skin irritant” “flammable” “harmful or fatal if swallowed” “hazardous” “keep out of reach of children” “poison” “use in a well-ventilated area” “vapor harmful” Use safety precautions when using, storing, or disposing of any hazardous products. When discarded, they become household hazardous waste requiring proper disposal.
