Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)

How can I use and store hazardous products properly?

Always follow the directions on the label. Ask the dealer or manufacturer to provide more explanation if needed. Never use more of the product than is recommended. Never mix products; this can lead to explosions or poisonous gas being released. Use hazardous products in well-ventilated areas and always use gloves, eye protection and air purifying respirators whenever warranted. Never eat, drink or smoke where hazardous products are being used. Keep products in their original containers. If you do have to use a different container be sure to label adequately in case of poisoning and for safe use and disposal. Store all hazardous products upright, tightly sealed, and away from pets, children and food.
