Each year, thousands of people are injured by products in their homes.
Hazardous products cause poisonings, severe burns, illness, blindness and even death.
Though usually safe when used according to label directions, these products can become dangerous when people are unaware, or forget, that they are handling hazardous products. Improper use, storage, and disposal are dangerous and expensive. All residents in the Kansas City metro area have access to proper disposal of household hazardous waste products. Kansas residents in Johnson, Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties can take household hazardous waste to a permanent collection center serving their specific city or county. Missouri residents in Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte and Ray counties have access to the Regional HHW Collection Program sponsored by the MARC Solid Waste Management District .
