How should hazardous waste be disposed of?
Do not place hazardous products such as paint or motor oil inside your recycling cart. Many common household products contain ingredients that are harmful and toxic when disposed of improperly. These are hazardous waste products that pollute our land and water. Do not dump these items in the trash, down the drain or on the ground as they can cause serious pollution. Please check with your City Public Works Division or local non-profit recycling organizations for proper disposal of hazardous waste products.
