Many household products require special attention in their use, storage and disposal. A product is considered “hazardous” if it is:
• Toxic or Poisonous
• Ignitable/Flammable
• Corrosive
• Reactive (products that can explode if exposed to heat, air, water, or shock)

Check the label to see if a product is hazardous. If it says Warning, Caution, Danger, or Poison, consider it hazardous. Unwanted portions of hazardous products are considered to be hazardous wastes and should be treated in a careful manner to avoid accidents or polluting our environment.

All products should be tightly sealed to prevent spillage while transporting to the facility and all containers brought to the collection must be left at the collection. Products will not be accepted in milk jugs because the plastic is thin and punctures easily.
