You Can Reduce Your Household Hazardous Materials
The best way to deal with household hazardous materials is to avoid creating it. The following tips can help you do just that.
- Purchase Less. Buy only the amount you need, even if a larger container offers a price discount.
- Use it up. Use up all of the products you have before you buy any more. Most products do not expire.
- Simplify. Use multi-purpose cleaners rather than having a full collection of specialized products.
- Use safer alternatives. Buy less-toxic alternatives. Avoid the ones with the words "poison" or "danger" on the label.
These safer items can be found in your local grocery store.
Follow these links to learn about safer alternatives.
