Safe disposal

Household hazardous waste must be disposed of safely and responsibly. Never pour hazardous waste down a drain or onto the ground, dump it into a storm sewer, place it in the garbage, or bury it.

Improper disposal can allow hazardous substances to enter waterways or contaminate groundwater. If a product has a hazardous-product warning symbol, or you suspect it is hazardous, dispose of it safely and responsibly.
