Certain household chemicals, when not used up, can become household hazardous wastes. If not disposed of properly, they could harm people, animals, and the environment. We must do our best to prevent this from happening or we could have serious problems on our hands

Household chemicals should not be mixed because they can resolve in something poisonous and hazardous to people or animals
