WHAT IS HAZARDOUS WASTE?

Products containing toxic chemicals like cleaning products, solvents, pesticides, oil-based paints and weed killer.
Batteries, Light bulbs, fire extinguishers & smoke alarms.
Expired Medication – Oakland County, Operation Medicine Cabinet

Why shouldn’t Hazardous Waste be disposed of with your trash or flushed down the toilet or sink?

These products can be a threat to living beings and they can pollute the air, water, and soil.

HOW TO IDENTIFY HAZARDOUS WASTE —

Look for key words on containers such as “Danger”, “Caution”, “Poison”, “Flammable”, “Corrosive” or “Use in Well Ventilated Area”.
