The best way to avoid hazardous household materials
is to use alternative products. Try
these non-toxic or less toxic products as alternatives to hazardous household
chemicals. A little more "elbow grease" may be needed, but the benefits
are many: less exposure to toxic chemicals for you and your family
members, easier waste disposal, convenience (most materials you probably
already have on hand), and lower costs!
HOW DO I TRANSPORT THESE MATERIALS SAFELY?
- Waste must be in a labeled container. Unlabeled materials or material incompatible with label or description furnished by household will be turned back!
- Never mix chemicals together!
- Never smoke or eat while handling hazardous materials.
- Segregate solids from liquids
- Place all materials in plastic-lined boxes surrounded with packing material. DO NOT WRAP
- Waste anti-freeze and waste paint should also be in leakproof containers
- Fluorescent bulbs must be bundled together
- All materials should be placed in trunk of vehicle for transport to collection site
- Do not leave vehicle once you get to the drop-off site unless instructed to do so
DO NOT BRING
