HOW TO GET RID OF YOUR HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS Inevitably, some hazardous household products must be discarded. Rusted, old containers might be targets for spring cleaning. You might not need some products anymore, such as half-used cans of paint. Or, you might have realized a product is too hazardous for everyday use, and want to get rid of it. Right now, there’s no easy way to dispose of hazardous products. There aren’t any places that accept the small quantities of wastes generated by the average household. For now, the best disposal techniques are listed below. Maybe in a few years, we’ll have something better.
