Tips to reduce household hazardous waste

  • Be a wise consumer:

If you purchase a hazardous product, buy only the amount you can use.  Avoid larger quantities and bulk purchases if you do not need a lot.

  • Read labels:

Ensure that the product you purchase does what you want it to do before you purchase it.  Once purchased, follow the instructions on the label for safe use, ventilation, and storage.

  • Avoid aerosols whenever possible:

Much of the aerosol product ends up in the air.  Purchase safer alternatives.

  • Give leftover hazardous products to someone who can use them:

Relatives, friends, neighbours, community groups, and charitable organizations may be able to use some of what you no longer need.

  • Use a non-hazardous alternative:

Environmentally friendly and safer alternatives are available for household cleaning, home improvement, and garden care.

Remember to always safely handle and properly dispose of household hazardous waste.
