Did you know the average household uses 20 to 40 litres of hazardous products each year? When in doubt, don't throw it out!
If you are cleaning out your house, garage or basement, remember to dispose of hazardous waste in an environmentally safe manner and help keep environmental contaminants out of our landfills and waterways.
Remember the BUD rule:
Buy only what you need - consider purchasing non-hazardous, natural alternatives instead
Use it all up - use it up before you start a new bottle or container
Dispose it properly - hazardous waste does not belong in our water ways or landfill!
