Hazardous waste includes any unused product that is poisonous, reactive, corrosive, or
flammable. You can easily identify hazardous products by reading packaging labels.
Look for key words such as Warning! Danger! Poison! Caution! Improper disposal of
these products poses a risk to human health and the environment.
**Please note:** Hardened hazardous waste is still considered dangerous and should not be discarded as regular household trash. Bring it to the Environmental Depot instead!
