Improper disposal of household and industrial waste puts the public at risk. Chemicals and other hazardous materials contaminate soil and groundwater. Non-biodegradable materials improperly disposed of create pollution and sanitary issues for private and public properties. To avoid eyesores in illegal dumping areas, contamination of food and water, and safety risks caused by dangerous objects, proper waste disposal is critical. Household Chemicals and Cleaners Household chemicals pose a risk to the environment. Such chemicals are dangerous for animals, soil, and water. Examples of dangerous household chemicals are cleaners, pool chemicals, aquarium products, solvents, paints, insecticides, detergents, and automobile products like oil, transmission fluid, and antifreeze. Be sure your dumpster rental service is aware of what you are disposing of. Take all automotive products to a facility specifically geared toward removing automotive wastes. Make sure you use as much of a household chemical from the container as possible. Determine the best time to dispose of the product, considering outside temperature before disposing of the bottle. Follow the disposal directions marked on certain containers. If possible, keep chemical waste and chemical containers separate from other waste and try to place it all in one area. Construction Site Debris Many paints and building materials are hazardous to the environment if disposed of improperly. Other materials, though not dangerous, create an unsightly environment when dumped in an unauthorized area. Facilities for lumber, brick, concrete, and metal disposals exist within most local areas. Make sure materials and debris from new construction or remodeling projects go to such a facility for proper disposal and recycling. Hazardous Material It is illegal and dangerous to dump controlled or regulated hazardous substances in an unauthorized area. These chemicals and other substances are harmful to people, pets, wildlife and the environment. Hazardous materials are a medical risk, often fatal to those exposed. DO NOT dispose of hazardous waste on your own. Contact a qualified waste removal specialist to dispose of your hazardous waste materials. What you can do Cut down on your use of household cleaners that are dangerous to the environment. Call someone who specializes in hazardous waste removal to handle biological and other hazardous waste. For other large trash removal needs, consider a dumpster rental service.
