“Household hazardous waste” sounds like something that oozes from a stinky factory or landfill, but guess what?
In reality, such waste is often common items available at your local supermarket or hardware store, products such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides.
Such products, many of which are toxic, corrosive or flammable, can do serious harm to the environment if they are dumped down the drain, spilled onto the ground or tossed into the trash can.
Be vigilant. Protect your family and our natural environment. Store household hazardous waste in closed containers and recycle them at a household hazardous waste facility.
Santee residents can dispose of their household hazardous materials at no cost by calling the Waste Management Inc. customer service center at (619) 596-5100 to set up an appointment.
