A business or industry transporting the same wastes would be required to adhere to a number of safety and handling regulations. These regulations have been established to prevent injury, spills, and other accidents resulting from mishandling hazardous wastes. There are no regulations governing how householders transport household hazardous wastes, but you can take precautions to prevent accidents from occurring on your way to the collection site. Wear protective gloves when handling household hazardous wastes. Do not bring children or pets along to the collection site.
