Handle these wastes carefully to avoid injury to self or damage to the environment. Store wastes in their original containers with the labels intact. Keep them out of the reach of children and pets, and away from heat. Save wastes for a household hazardous waste collection program. Use the least hazardous products available.
Many products have less toxic or non-toxic alternatives.
See inside chart for some suggestions. If you must purchase a hazardous product, buy only the amount you can use up. Make sure that the product will do what you want it to do before you buy it. Once purchased, follow instructions for safe use, ventilation, and storage. Don't use more of a product than the directions say to use.
