Hazardous materials disposal is no joke. Perhaps, you've bought a foreclosure. You plan use as an investment rental property. Or, have inherited an estate home and to you chagrin, the garage is chock-full of all kinds of junk. Years worth of all kinds of items are piled deep and high and among them are dozens of paint cans, thinner, and other hazardous materials. You have no idea how long all this junk has been in the space but do know it's long enough to collect a whole lot of dust and rust the metal containers.
The job looks overwhelming and now. You're faced with the unpleasant task of having to cleanup and dispose of all of it to get the home back into livable condition. The time and cost become a big aggravation but it won't get done by itself.
Leftover household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive ingredients are considered to be household hazardous waste (HHW). Products, such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides, that contain potentially hazardous ingredients require special care when you dispose of them. Improper disposal of HHW can include pouring them down the drain, on the ground, into storm sewers, or in some cases putting them out with the trash. The dangers of such disposal methods might not be immediately obvious, but improper disposal of these wastes can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health. --U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
