Household hazardous wastes are common products found in the home. People usually store these materials for a time and eventually discard the unwanted items and their containers. When products are used according to label directions, most are not hazardous. Environmental problems can arise, however, if items are not disposed of properly.
Do NOT burn, bury, dump (in any yard, toilet or down a storm sewer) or mix leftover products. Chemical containers should not be reused for any other purpose. On Saturday, May 4, Kenosha County will provide Household Hazardous Waste Collection.
