What is Household Hazardous Waste and How Do I Get Rid of It?
The phrase Household Hazardous Waste is a pretty broad term. From the web site of the Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov/msw/hhw.htm), household hazardous waste is described as household products that are poisonous, corrosive, reactive or flammable. This description can probably apply to many of the everyday products we keep in our homes and garages. Products such as pesticides, paint and solvents, batteries, electronic components, and household cleansers are all considered hazardous waste.
