How to Handle Disposal of Your Household Hazardous Waste

Everyone has them, those mystery cans, bottles, and containers that hold expired cleaning products or other substances that might or might not be household hazardous waste.

At Junk King of Marin, we haul away all kinds of junk except for hazardous waste. But we do know how important it is to keep your home and the earth’s environment safe from waste risks. And with a little education we can all join together to practice safe household hazardous waste disposal.

Read on for some of our top tips to do just that.

What is Hazardous Waste?

Household Hazardous Waste The broad term “household hazardous waste” actually applies to any home or retail-generated hazardous waste. It covers a wide array of products that have the potential to harm the environment if not disposed of properly. This can include things like automotive care products, oil and latex paints, drain cleaners, antifreeze, and other household chemicals.

Proper Storage of Household Hazardous Waste

First, always keep hazardous materials in their original containers. Be sure to store them out of the reach of children and animals and away from food. If you place a hazardous material in another container, make sure it’s clearly labeled, and never store it in empty food or beverage containers. Keep the containers dry to prevent corrosion and store chemical products in a well-ventilated area. To be safe, keep any suspected household hazardous waste away from heat, flames, or other sources of ignition .

Finally, never combine dangerous household hazardous waste with other products .

Read the Label

The EPA considers any leftover household product that can catch fire, explode, or react under certain circumstances as household hazardous waste. Since many of these products contain hazardous ingredients, they require special care when disposing of them. Always follow labeled storage and disposal instructions to avoid personal injury and environmental harm.

And remember, even empty containers of hazardous waste can pose risks due to the residual chemicals that might remain. Always handle with care!

Reduce Household Hazardous Waste

One of the best ways to avoid the risk of contamination is to purchase fewer products that contain hazardous ingredients. The EPA’s Safer Choice Program has some great ideas to get you started.

Hazardous Waste Disposal Questions

Marin County has a zero waste program that helps you properly dispose of your home’s hazardous waste. Your community may also have separate rules and regulations, including how to handle proper disposal of items like batteries and fluorescent tubes, so be sure to check with your local environmental waste agency for the latest disposal information.

At Junk King of Marin, we believe working together on the safe disposal of hazardous waste helps our customers achieve a healthy home, community, and environment.

We also know it’s not always easy figuring out which products can be disposed of in your regular trash and what is considered hazardous.

Special Considerations for Foreclosure Cleanups

Anyone involved in a foreclosure knows how complicated a process it is. Because foreclosure forces a property’s occupants out, often at the last minute, it’s not unusual for the resident or tenant to exact some sort of revenge. While the anger may be understandable, the results are anything but pleasant.

Vandalization, broken windows and appliances, piles of trash, and generally filthy conditions are sadly all quite common foreclosure cleanup problems. At Junk King of Sonoma, we believe you shouldn’t have to deal with a foreclosure cleanup on your own. Whether you’re a bank, real estate agent, property management company, or buyer of a foreclosed property, we offer competent, efficient, and reliable foreclosure cleanup services throughout the greater Sonoma area.

Avoid Foreclosure Cleanup Hassles

Foreclosure Cleanups

There are a lot of damages and hazards that can be lurking inside of foreclosed residential or business properties.

  • Safety hazards include waterlogged and/or sagging ceilings, damaged flooring that poses trip hazards, missing handrails and guardrails, broken steps, disconnected utilities, hanging gutters, uncapped gas lines, and more.
  • Water damage in the form of soggy carpets, contamination from sump pump failure, ceiling water stains, damaged plumbing pipes, and active roof leaks.
  • Natural disaster damage such as that caused by fire, smoke, flood, wind, hail, and fallen trees.
  • Health risks including, among others, those associated with standing water, mold infestation, and degrading building materials.

There can also be serious theft and vandalism damages including graffiti, holes in the walls, broken windows and doors, and stolen copper plumbing and electrical wiring. Not to mention piles of trash that could contain unsafe objects like razor blades and broken bottles.
