Because of the potential risks associated with household hazardous wastes, it is important that people always use, store, and dispose of materials containing hazardous substances safely:

Tip #1 - Use and store products containing hazardous substances carefully to prevent any accidents at home. Never store hazardous products in food containers.

Tip #2 - When leftovers remain, never mix household hazardous waste with other products.

Tip #3 - DO NOT place hazardous material in your trash container, recycling container, or in your yard waste container.

Tip #4 - Take household hazardous waste to a local collection program OR share leftover materials with neighbors, charities, or government agencies.

Tip #5 - Recycling is an economical and environmentally sound way to handle some types of household hazardous waste, such as used automobile batteries and oil.
