General tips from official sources
- Many communities have permanent household hazardous waste collection sites or special collection days. Check with your local environmental, health or solid waste agency. (www.epa.gov)
- Keep products in their original, labeled containers. Never mix leftovers, and never pour them down the drain, on the ground, or into storm sewers. (www.epa.gov)
- Some local garages accept used motor oil for recycling. Even empty containers can hold residue, so read the label. (www.epa.gov)
