trash graphic

harmful household waste graphic
You may not think so, but the average household has
between three and ten gallons of materials that are potentially
hazardous to human health or the environment.  Many products
you use everyday (cleaners, pesticides, solvents) contribute to
the hazardous waste problem when disposed of improperly. 
By putting these products in the trash or pouring them on the
ground you endanger not only the environment, but your family.
