Proper Disposal of Your Hazardous Materials
Since we cannot move these items, we suggest that you properly dispose of them to ensure their disposal does not negatively impact the environment. You can either donate them to your friend, family member, or neighbor, or you can take them to your local community waste center. Most towns have a local transfer station in which you can dispose of hazardous materials for little to no cost. We recommend that you check out the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s website to find a hazardous waste facility near you.
