Hazardous Waste Reduction

Hazardous waste is found in most homes. The Hazardous Waste Clean Sweep program is a great option to dispose of hazardous waste items but the key is to prevent or reduce it in the first place.

Before you buy:
1. Read the labels
2. Choose safer alternatives
3. Buy the smallest amount needed for the job

After you buy:
1. Follow directions for safe use
2. Store properly in the original container
3. Share what you can’t use
4. Dispose of leftovers properly
