All rights reserved. There are many things in your home that can be dangerous if they are not disposed of properly. The average household in Franklin County creates 15 pounds of hazardous waste every year. Hazardous materials cannot be put with regular trash because they can harm trash collectors and create environmental problems. Read the label.
Some products have directions for proper use, storage and disposal on the label.
Consider safer products. Baking soda makes a good scouring powder. Cedar shavings and aromatic herbs can replace mothballs. Choose the least hazardous product and buy only what you need. Try to use up the product.
