Household hazardous items such as propane tanks, oil and chemicals don’t belong in your carts. If a container has a hazardous symbol, bring it to a household hazardous drop-off location, even empty containers. Other hazardous items include bear spray canisters, paint and paint cans, automotive batteries, nail polish and remover, and gas or oil.
- Store items in a safe place out of reach of children and pets until you can dispose of them
- Place leftover chemicals in a clearly labeled, sealed container – use the original container if possible
- Take these items to a City landfill or designated fire station for safe disposal
- Reduce your hazardous waste by choosing greener alternatives, like shaving soap instead of aerosol shaving cream
