Guide to Best Management Practices for Household Hazardous Waste and Radon

ill an effort to provide local governments with easy-to-use, reliable resources on household hazardous waste, the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division (p2AD) has developed the enclosed Guide to Best Management Practices for Household Hazardous Waste and Radon. In cooperation with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), University of Georgia 's Cooperative Extension Service, and the Department ofCommunity Affairs (DCA), the Guide is being distributed to county extension agents, health departments, recycling coordinators, Keep America Beautiful affiliates, and fire departments. The Cooperative Extension Service, DCA, and EPD will play an important role in assisting p2AD in the dissemination of materials as p2AD implements its Household Hazardous Waste Prevention and Management Program.

This Guide is designed to assist local governments in answering citizens' inquiries about household hazardous waste. The Guide, which contains information on many common household hazardous wastes, is divided into 8 broad product categories. Each product page contains information on product function, ingredients, source reduction options, reuse and recycling tips, and disposal methods. The Guide also includes several user-friendly features. For example, the Guide is color-coded by category and the product pages within each category are alphabetized to assist you in easily finding the information. The Guide also contains information on speci fie household hazardous waste manag~ment programs, activities, and collection sites listed by county, poison prevention information, -and a comprehensive list of resources. The information in the Guide has been extensively reviewed by the Environmental Protection Division. trade associations, local recycling coordinators, and experts in the field. p2AD will update the Guide as product information and programs change. Please notify p2AD of any name or address changes, so that as the Guide-is updated you will receive the new information.

The Guide is just one of the resources available from p2AD as part of the Division's Household Hazardous Waste Prevention and Management Program. A copy outlining the objectives and elements of the Program is enclosed. If you would like additional information on the state's Household Hazardous Waste Prevention & Management Program or have any questions, please contact Stephanie Siniard at (404) 651-5120. We are confident that this Guide will be a valuable resource for you and your community.

INTRODUCTION
What is Household Hazardous Waste?
Household waste is defined I as solid waste discarded from homes. Some household products commonly used in the home would be classified as hazardous waste if generated by industry. A hazardous waste is a substance that is either found on one of several lists of hazardous wastes in the federal regulations or exhibits one of four following hazardous waste characteristics: corrosivity (damaging to living tissue); ignitable (catches fire under certain conditions); toxic (causing injury or death if eaten or swallowed); or reactive (capable of causing an explosion). Examples of items which meet these two definitions, and are considered household hazardous waste for the purpose of this manual, include pesticides, drain openers, nail polish, and batteries. Each year Americans generate approximately 1.6 million tons of household hazardous waste."
Why is Household Hazardous Waste a Concern?
If household hazardous products are completely used up according to the directions (and with the appropriate protective equipment), then most household hazardous products provide benefits such as reducing cleaning time, disinfecting surfaces, and controlling pests without posing a threat to human health or the environment. However, if misused or stored or disposed of improperly (e.g., down a storm drain or in the yard), household hazardous waste can contaminate ground or surface water, injure homeowners or solid waste management personnel, and/or harm septic tank systems. For instance, one gallon of used oil improperly poured on the ground has the potential to contaminate over one million gallons of drinking water. When particular chemicals are poured down a storm sewer, the vapors can collect and could result in fires or explosions in the pipes. Under certain conditions, some aerosol cans may explode when compacted in a solid waste collection vehicle, and products such as pool chemicals can injure workers if they leak, spill, or mix with other incompatible chemicals.
Most people feel safe in their homes; however, they are often exposed to high levels of chemicals inside their homes. People can also inadvertently mix two incompatible materials together producing a dangerous gas. When placed near heat sources, certain products may catch fire or explode. Inadequately sealed products may release harmful fumes which may pose a fire or health hazard.
While not addressed in this manual, improper use or disposal can sometimes lead to a person being injured, poisoned, or requiring medical advice. In 1996, over 5,600 calls regarding pesticides and nearly 1,300 calls regarding bleach were received by the Georgia Poison Center. If an injury or poisoning does occur, contact the Georgia Poison Center immediately.

The Georgia Poison Center is a 24-hour poison emergency treatment and information resource for the public. Trained staff members are usually able to answer questions about the safe use. storage, and disposal of most poisons. Appendix A contains a list of tips on ways to prevent poisonmgs.

Homeowners should also report any complaints about household hazardous products to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) hotline at 1-800-638-2772. The TOO number is 1-800-638-8270. The CPSC can only ban a product ifit receives complaints from the public.

Depending on the product, in Georgia most household hazardous wastes can either be disposed of down the drain or in the trash when the proper disposal method is used. However, certain wastes which may be safely discarded in the trash should not be disposed of down the drain and vice versa, since doing so may harm homeowners, or damage sewer systems or the environment. For example, when poured down the drain, household hazardous waste may corrode plumbing or cause septic systems to malfunction. In areas where sewage treatment plants are present, hazardous wastes entering the system may pass through intact, and eventually enter downstream drinking water supplies. Household hazardous waste discarded through solid waste collection programs may leach after burial within a landfill, especially unlined landfills, and may eventually contaminate groundwater. Because of these concerns, it is imperative to know and follow the best management practices for each type of material discarded.

How Do Georgians Manage Their Household Hazardous Waste?

A survey of 80 1 Georgia citizens from throughout the state, was conducted by Georgia State University's Applied Research Center for the Pollution Prevention Assistance and the Environmental Protection Divisions ofthe Georgia Department of Natural Resources. This 1996 survey provides insight into how Georgians handle and dispose of household hazardous waste. Most Georgians typically dispose of a household hazardous waste by throwing it into the trash. Ofthose polled, the most common reason for having a leftover household hazardous product was they had purchased too much.

Most Georgians (84%) indicated that they had used at least one lawn and garden chemical, and the majority of Georgians (78%) who disposed of these chemicals did so via trash collection. More than one-third (38%) of the Georgians polled indicated that they had leftover paint (mostly latex) stored in their homes. The majority of Georgians who disposed of paint (67%) had done so by throwing it in the trash. Regarding household cleaners, 51% of Georgians had cleaning products stored in their homes. More than half (53 %) of the Georgians polled disposed of such products by throwing them into the trash. The same is true for household batteries. The majority of Georgians (80%) throw spent batteries into the household trash.

2

While most Georgians (920) own cars, only 32~'0 service their own cars. About half( 49 %) of the Georgians who service their own cars take the used oil to be recycled. However. nearly a quarter of Georgians who change their oil pour used oil onto the ground or throw it in the trash. Of those who service their own car. the most common method for disposal of spent antifreeze was to pour it onto the ground ( 18o), followed by throwing it into the trash ( 15%), and taking it back to the store where it was purchased (13%). The vast majority of Georgians (93%) who changed their automobile batteries, however, returned the batteries to a store or a facility for recycling.
How are Household Hazardous Products Identified?
Proper identification of household hazardous products is a crucial step in ensuring safety during use, storage and disposal of these products. The best way to identify a hazardous product is to read the information provided by the manufacturer on a product's label. Product labels also provide important information about the best management practices for discarded materials or products. Similarly, specific signal words appear on a product's label indicating the degree to which the product is a hazard.
On non-pesticide products, the word" Danger" indicates that the product is either extremely flammable, extremely corrosive, or highly toxic. The signal word "Poison" is also associated with a highly toxic product, while the words" Warning or Caution" indicate that lesser hazards are associated with the product. The statement "Keep out of reach of children", or its practical equivalent, must appear on the label in addition to a description of the principal hazards involved in using the product. Other key words such as "Flammable" and "Corrosive", or key phrases
such as "Do not use near heat or flame ", "Harmful or fatal if swallowed ", "Use in well-
ventilated area ", or "Avoid contact with skin and eyes" may also appear on the product's label.
Pesticide product labels also contain the words "Danger or Poison", "Warning", or "Caution", indicating that the product is either highly toxic, moderately toxic, or slightly toxic respectively. These signal words refer to how much of the product it would take to kill an average 150 pound adult (refer to the glossary for the specific meaning of each signal word). The statement "Keep out ofreach ofchildren" must also appear on the front label of a pesticide product. In addition, the label must contain information regarding the specific hazards posed by the pesticide product and instructions on how to properly use the product.

Manual Organization
This manual is divided into eight sections. Each section contains a number of products which fall into that category, arranged alphabetically. For each product, information is presented on the function and hazardous constituents of the product, ways to reduce the use of that product, recycling and reuse opportunities, and proper disposal methods. In addition to the sections on household hazardous waste, there is a section on radon. In an effort to make this document as accurate as possible, experts and trade associations were contacted to provide comments on this document.
While this document is designed to assist local government personnel in responding to requests from citizens about household hazardous waste, it can also be used as a reference to aid in educating citizens on how to reduce the amount of household hazardous products that they purchase, properly use the product, and use alternative management methods such as giving it to a neighbor or charity or recycling. The manual has suggestions for how to recycle the product ifit can not be reused. To further assist local governments in education efforts, a fact sheet on source reduction and another one on safe use and storage tips is included in Appendix B. Appendix C contains a list of household hazardous waste resources including: publications, contacts, and recycling/reuse information for specific products. Appendix D contains the ingredients listed in each product page and their respective hazardous characteristics. Appendix E contains a list of the collection sites sorted by county that accept household hazardous waste items. Appendix F contains a list of used oil, antifreeze, and oil filter collection sites sorted by county. A glossary of the terms used in this manual is also included.
The information on the ingredients of the products discussed in the manual was obtained from several sources including a literature search of other state resources, input from manufacturers, reading product labels, and reviewing Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs). It should be kept in mind that not all of the ingredients listed for a product are found in every product. Also, the formulations of products change from day to day as new advances in chemistry and research emerge. Hence, some of the ingredients listed may not be currently used in the formulation of the product. Nevertheless, many homeowner may have products that are several years old and in some cases ten or more years old.

Antifreeze I I

Antifreeze protects the cooling system of an automobile from freezing and overheating, provides pump lubrication, and inhibits corrosion in the cooling system. Antifreeze may contain ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, or sodium nitrite. Antifreeze may also become contaminated with oil and hazardous metals such as copper, zinc and lead. Some ingredients or contaminants in antifreeze may be considered toxic, reactive, flammable, poisonous, and/or an eye, skin, and mucous membrane irritant.
o Source Reduction
An alternative to ethylene-glycol based antifreeze is to use antifreeze made with propylene glycol.

To minimize the amount of antifreeze that must be managed or the hazards associated with its use:



buy and use only the quantity needed;



capture the antifreeze when the coolant or hoses are changed, and reuse or recycle it;



watch for and repair any leaks;



store antifreeze in tightly closed containers to prevent it from being spilled or

contaminated by other materials; and



use antifreeze that is designed to last for four years or 50,000 to 60,000 miles (most

antifreezes need to be replaced every two years).

o Recycling/Reuse Options
Antifreeze can be recycled. Used antifreeze still protects against freezing and boilovers; however, the corrosion inhibitors may be depleted during use and should be replaced in the recycling process. To collect antifreeze for recycling, place the antifreeze in a clean, closed container and contact your local recycling center or auto parts store for information on sites that will accept it. Appendix F lists antifreeze collection sites by county. To close the recycling loop, purchase recycled antifreeze, when possible.
o Disposal
If the antifreeze cannot be reused, given away, or recycled, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal. Ifrecycling is not feasible, then antifreeze may be disposed of in one of two ways. Ifthe local wastewater treatment plant permits it, antifreeze may be poured down an inside drain, flushing with plenty of water. Contact the local wastewater treatment plant for information. In addition, under state law, solidified antifreeze can be legally disposed of in a permitted, Subtitle D landfill. Before attempting to dispose of antifreeze in this manner, contact the local landfill to find out if the landfill meets this requirement. If curbside waste

pick-up is provided, contact the service provider to find out if the waste is being disposed of in a landfill which meets this requirement. To solidify the antifreeze, mix the antifreeze with enough absorbent material, such as cat-box filler, to absorb all free liquids. Place t!:~ solidified antifreeze in a bag or wrap in newspaper before disposing in a landfill. The empty container should be recycled, if possible. If it cannot be recycled, then the empty container can be disposed of in a landfill.
Antifreeze should not be poured down septic tanks, outside drains, in the storm sewer, or on the ground. This may cause ground water contamination and/or operational problems with the septic system or POTW. Antifreeze can also harm pets if ingested.

Batteries

~

An automobile (lead-acid) battery provides an electrical current to the starter motor and the spark plugs. A battery contains an average of 18 to 22 pounds of recoverable lead, approximately 3 pounds of polypropylene casing, and one gallon of sulfuric acid.' Some automobile battery components may be considered corrosive, toxic, poisonous, and/or an eye irritant.
o Source Reduction
There are no less toxic alternatives to lead-acid automobile batteries at this time.
o Recycling/Reuse Options
In Georgia, automobile batteries must be returned to retailers for recycling.' Battery retailers are required by law to accept old lead-acid batteries. Used batteries may be dropped off at battery wholesalers or retailers, secondary smelters, or a collection or materials processing facility that accepts batteries. Appendix E lists additional collection sites sorted by county that accept automotive batteries.
o Disposal
Automobile batteries, under state law, may not be legally disposed of in landfills or incinerators. They must be recycled.

A.OTOMOTIBrVakeEFluidI~ ~ ~I

Brake fluid is an alcohol-based hydraulic fluid used to transmit braking pressure to the brake pads. Brake fluid may contain glycol ethers. Used brake fluid may also contain benzene, lead, and other heavy metals. Some ingredients of brake fluid may be considered flammable, poisonous, a skin and eye irritant, and/or toxic.
o Source Reduction
To minimize the amount of brake fluid that must be managed or the hazards associated with its use:



keep the vehicle properly maintained;



change the brake fluid twice a year or when dirty (brake fluid is golden in color; dirty

brake fluid is brown or black.); 3



watch for leaks in the brake system and repair any leaks;



buy only as much brake fluid as needed; and



store any unused brake fluid in tightly capped containers to prevent it from being

spilled or contaminated by other materials.

o Recycling/Reuse Options
Brake fluid is recyclable. In order to collect brake fluid for recycling, place it in a clean, leak-proof container and contact the local recycling center, service stations, or auto parts stores for information on sites that will accept brake fluid for recycling. To close the recycling loop, purchase recycled brake fluid.

o Disposal
Ifthe brake fluid cannot be reused, given away, or recycled, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal. Ifrecycling is not feasible, under state law, solidified brake fluid can be legally disposed of in a permitted, Subtitle D landfill. Before attempting to dispose ofbrake fluid in this manner, contact the local landfill to find out ifthe landfill meets this requirement. If curbside waste pick-up is provided, contact the service provider to find out ifthe waste is being disposed of in a landfill which meets this requirement. To solidify the brake fluid, mix the brake fluid with enough absorbent material such as cat-box filler to absorb all free liquids. Place the solidified brake fluid in a bag or wrap in newspaper before disposing in a landfill. The empty container should be recycled, if possible. If it cannot be recycled, then the empty container can be disposed of in a landfill.

Brake fluid should not be poured down drains (inside and outside), in the storm sewer, or on the ground. This may cause ground water contamination and/or operational problems with the septic system or POTW.

Gasoline

I~

~I

Gasoline is a petroleum-based hydrocarbon fuel used to power internal-combustion engines. Gasoline is flammable, an explosion hazard, toxic if inhaled, reactive with oxidizing materials, an irritant, and poisonous.
o Source Reduction
Alternatives to gasoline-powered vehicles include vehicles powered by electricity, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), propane, solar energy, natural gas or other fuels. In the case of a lawn mower, consider using a manual or electric powered lawn mower. Before storing a gas-powered vehicle for extended periods of time, add stabilizers to the gasoline. This will decrease the need to drain and replace the gasoline in the engine before restarting.
o Recycling/Reuse Options
If the gasoline is stale or has a small amount of water in it, consider purchasing a gas rejuvenator product which can be added to the gasoline. Small amounts of the gasoline can then be used in an automobile with caution.
o Disposal
Ifthe gasoline cannot be reused or given away (try mechanics and repair shops) or ifthe gas has a large amount ofwater in it, then let the gasoline evaporate, in a well ventilated area, away from pets, children, and heat sources. For large quantities of gasoline, contact the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division at (404) 651-5120 for more information.

Gasoline should not be poured down drains (inside or outside), into a storm sewer, or on the ground. This may cause sewer explosions and/or can contaminate groundwater. Gasoline should not be used for cleaning. Do not mix gasoline with
kerosene. Great care should be used when storing and handling gasoline. Clearly label the gasoline container. Keep gasoline away from an open flame and other heat sources. Store flammable liquids in a tightly closed, non-glass container. Store out of reach of children. Gasoline may produce invisible explosive vapors that may ignite by a small spark. Do not store flammable materials inside the home.

AUTOMOTIVE
Motor Oil

Motor oil lubricates the engine's moving parts and sometimes helps cool the engine. Used motor oil may contain chromium, lead, petroleum hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, or zinc. Used oil may also be contaminated with other hazardous substances such as gasoline and other solvents and toxic chemicals such as antifreeze. Some components of used motor oil may be considered flammable, toxic, poisonous, and/or a skin irritant.

o Source Reduction
There are no known less toxic alternatives. Synthetic oils are available that do not have to be changed as often as ordinary oils. To minimize the amount of motor oil that must be managed or the hazards associated with its use:



keep the vehicle properly maintained;



watch for and repair any oil leaks;



buy only as much oil as needed;



avoid spills while pouring or draining; and



store any unused motor oil in tightly closed containers to prevent it from being

spilled or contaminated with other materials.

o Recycling/Reuse Options
Motor oil can be recycled or re-refined, a process where it is made into clean lubricant oil or motor oil. Used motor oil can also be burned as fuel; it is sometimes used as fuel at cement kilns and industrial furnaces in Georgia (where permitted) and as a substitute for fuel oil. To recycle motor oil, place it in a clean, leak-proof container and contact the local recycling center. See Appendix F for a list of collection sites that accept used oil. In addition, Exxon Corporation maintains a list of Exxon service stations which accept used oil. For the nearest station, contact 1-800-732-1100. To close the recycling loop, purchase recycled/re-refined motor oil.

o Disposal
Recycle motor oil, if possible.

Motor oil should not be poured down drains (inside or outside), into a storm sewer, or on the ground. This may cause ground water contamination and/or operational problems with the septic system or POTW.

Oil filters are used to filter out any debris and sludge that the oil picks up as it circulates through the engine. Used filters contain motor oil and other impurities. Some of the oil components contained in the filter may be considered ignitable and/or toxic.

o Source Reduction
There are no non-toxic alternatives to oil filters. To minimize the need to change oil filters:



keep the vehicle properly maintained;



use one of the more efficient filters now on the market that can last up to one year or

12,500 miles, instead ofthe 6,000 to 10,000 miles for conventional filters;



purchase a car with a lifetime filter;



use a washable, reusable filter; and



install a by-pass filter that is changed every 25,000 miles."

While these suggestions may minimize the need to change oil filters, they may not be practical or readily available options.
o Recycling/Reuse
Oil filters are recyclable. The oil contained in the filter and steel components may be recoverable. To prepare the oil filter for recycling, remove the filter from a warm engine and drain it immediately into a clean container, using the gravity draining method described below. While the remaining three methods described are acceptable methods of removing the oil from the filter, they are usually only available to a consumer who takes his car to a business that changes automobile oil.

The four methods for removing oil from oil filters are:



Gravity Draining: Place the filter with the gasket side down in a drain pan. If the

filter has an anti-drain valve, then the "dome end" ofthe filter should be punctured

with a screwdriver. The filter should be allowed to drain for twelve to twenty-four

hours.



Crushing: A mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic device is used to crush the filter.

This squeezes out the used oil and compacts the filter.



Disassembly: A mechanical device separates the filter into its different parts. This

allows most of the used oil to drain from the filter.



Air Pressure: The filter is placed in a machine that uses air pressure to force the

used oil out of the filter.

"The bypass filter pre-filters the oil before it runs through the standard oil filter.

The leak-proof container used to capture the used oil should then be tightly closed and taken to a location that accepts used oil. Crushed or dismantled oil filters should be stored in a leak-proof container. Contact the local recycling center or local gas stations for the location of sites that accept used oil filters and used oil for recycling. Appendix F lists collection sites for used oil filters by county. See the section on motor oil for information on recycling the oil collected from the draining process.
o Disposal
If the oil filter cannot be recycled, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal. Under state law, gravity-drained oil filters can be legally disposed of in a permitted, Subtitle D landfill. Before attempting to dispose of oil filters in this manner, contact the local landfill to find out ifthe landfill meets this requirement. If curbside waste pick-up is provided, contact the service provider to find out if the waste is being disposed of in a landfill which meets this requirement.

Solvents
Solvents are liquids used to clean parts of the car and for a variety of other purposes. Chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents are typically used to clean brake pads, rotors, drums, calipers, other brake parts, and CV joints. Carburetor, fuel injector, and choke cleaners may contain detergents and chlorinated solvents that strip away contaminants. Engine degreasers are typically aerosol products containing surfactants and solvents that strip grease and clean metal. Some solvents may contain 2-butoxyl-l-ethanol, m-pyrol, aromatic naphtha, xylene, mineral spirits, n-propanol, naphthalene, 1,1,l-trichloroethane and petroleum distillates. Some components of solvents may be considered flammable, toxic, poisonous, and/or an eye, skin, or mucous membrane irritant.
o Source Reduction
Less toxic alternatives are available. These include: non-chlorinated degreasers and cleansers, products that contain citrus oil, and water-based cleaners that contain detergents and/or emulsifiers.
o Recycling/Reuse
Solvents are recyclable; however, recycling may not be economically feasible for homeowners due to the limited quantities generated.
o Disposal
If the solvent cannot be used up or given away, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal. Ifrecycling is not feasible, under state law, solidified solvents can be legally disposed of in a permitted, Subtitle D landfill. Before attempting to dispose of solvents in this manner, contact the local landfill to find out if the landfill meets this requirement. If curbside waste pick-up is provided, contact the service provider to find out if the waste is being disposed of in a landfill which meets this requirement. To solidify solvents, mix the solvent with enough absorbent material to absorb all free liquids and allow the mixture to harden. Place the solidified solvent in a bag or wrap in newspaper before disposing in a landfill. The empty container should be recycled, if possible. If it cannot be recycled, then the empty container can be disposed of in a landfill.
Solvents should not be poured down drains (inside and outside), in the storm sewer, or on the ground. This may cause ground water contamination and/or operational problems with the septic system or POTW.

Paint (Latex)

Latex paints are the most common type of household paint. According to the National Paint and Coatings Association, latex paint constitutes 80% ofthe consumer market.' Paint can be classified as latex ifthe label indicates that the paint can be cleaned up with soap and water. Latex paint may contain resins, ethylene glycol, esters, pigments (such as chromium) or (if old paint) lead. Some components of latex paint may be considered toxic, flammable, poisonous, and/or a skin, eye, or mucous membrane irritant. Latex paint also may contain emulsifiers, thickeners, and defoamers which can be skin irritants. Latex paint manufactured before August 1990 may also contain mercury. Some older paints may contain high levels oflead, as well. Although the Consumer Products Safety Commission banned the use oflead in consumer paints in 1978, older homes, especially those built prior to 1978, may have lead-based paint on interior surfaces. According to EPA, lead-based paint dust and chips are dangerous if swallowed or inhaled, especially to small children and pregnant women.' For more information about lead-based paints or a list of businesses that can test homes to determine if a home has surfaces painted with lead-based paint, contact the National Lead Information Clearinghouse at (800) 424-LEAD.

o Source Reduction
Alternatives to latex paint include limestone-based white wash, which is made up of hydrated lime, water, and salt and may not contain heavy metal pigments and alkyd resins. However, some white wash products may contain a mold inhibitor or other ingredients which may contain a heavy metal. Read the label to determine the ingredients of the selected white wash.

To minimize the quantity of paint that must be managed:

Paint (Solvent-based)

,

Solvent-based, also called oil-based or alkyd paints contain organic solvents. Examples of this type of paint include enamels, varnishes, and lacquers. Paint is considered solvent-based if the label indicates that cleanup requires paint thinner or mineral spirits. Ingredients in solvent-based paint may include pigments, alkyl resin, ethylene glycol, kerosene, lead, mercury, methylene chloride, methyl ethyl ketone, mineral spirits, titanium dioxide, toluene, trichloroethane, or xylene. Some components ofsolvent-based paint may be considered flammable, toxic, poisonous, and/or an irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Some older paints, manufactured before 1978, may contain high levels of lead. Refer to the latex paint section for more information about lead-based paint.
o Source Reduction
Alternatives to solvent-based paint include:



latex (water-based paint); and



new, less volatile paints that contain less ethylene glycol and other petroleum-based

solvents.

In order to minimize the amount of solvent-based paint that must be managed:



buy only as much paint as needed, and



store paint cans, with tightly secured lids, upside down to prevent the paint from

drying out.

o Recycling/Reuse Options
Ifthe solvent-based paint cannot be used, then contact a local high school drama department, charity, or church to see if they accept paint. For additional organizations that accept paint for reuse in Georgia, refer to Appendix C. However, some restrictions apply (e.g., certain sites may only accept full cans of paint).

Air Fresheners

Air fresheners are used to alter the air smell in the home. Air fresheners come in a variety of forms: aerosols, non-aerosol and disinfectant sprays, and continuous action products (gels, paperboards, liquids, ceramics, electrical and controlled-release products). Most air fresheners do not remove the odor; instead, they coat the nasal passages with an oil film which desensitizes them, or they simply mask the unpleasant odor with another odor. Although the primary ingredient in most of these products is fragrance, air fresheners also may contain formaldehyde, isobutane, propane and methylene chloride, o-phenyl phenol, or p-dichlorobenzene. Some components ofair fresheners may be toxic, flammable, poisonous, and/or an eye or skin irritant.
o Source Reduction
Alternatives to using air fresheners exist. These include:



opening windows;



using an exhaust fan to dispel the odor;



using baking soda or an open dish of vinegar or lemon juice to absorb odors;



using potpourri and naturally fragrant oils to mask undesirable odors; and



using charcoal or zeolite, a mineral that absorbs odors (zeolite recharges when placed

in the sun for 24 hours).

o Recycling/Reuse Options
Air fresheners are not recyclable. The empty aerosol can is recyclable; however, not every
community accepts this type of can in their recycling program. Contact the local recycling center for information on recycling aerosol cans. In addition, the Steel Recycling Institute at 1(800) YES-ICAN will provide the location of the nearest steel recycling center.

o Disposal

Fluorescent Lamps & Ballasts

.

Fluorescent lamps are used to light homes and offices. The fluorescent lamps may contain mercury. Ballasts manufactured before 1978 may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Ballasts manufactured after 1979 may contain Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DHEP). These ingredients may be considered toxic, corrosive, and/or poisonous.

o Source Reduction
Alternatives to fluorescent lamps exist. These include:



using halogen lights instead of fluorescent;



purchasing fluorescent lamps which contain smaller amounts of mercury;



purchasing compact fluorescent lamps which use less energy than incandescent

lamps and last from 6 to 10 years; and



not turning on all the lights in a room when they are not needed, in order to reduce

the frequency of replacing the bulbs.

o Recycling/Reuse Options
Fluorescent lamps and ballasts are recyclable. The mercury, glass, phosphor, and the metal components of fluorescent lights and the metal components of the ballasts are reclaimed for use in manufacturing other products. However, recycling lamps and ballasts may not be an available option in your community. To determine if your community recycles lamps and ballasts, contact the local solid waste department and/or refer to Appendix E which lists collection sites that accept fluorescent lamps and ballasts. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Green Lights Program maintains a list of fluorescent lamp and ballast recyclers. Call (404) 562-9087 for more information.

Freon' (Chlorofluorocarbons)

.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are used in aerosol sprays, blowing agents, packing materials, solvents and refrigerants. CFCs are not flammable or toxic unless at high concentrations. They are, however, linked to stratospheric ozone depletion. Ozone in the stratosphere filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation is associated with skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. Ultraviolet radiation breaks down the CFCs into chlorine atoms which can combine with ozone. The process is repeated until the chlorine atom reacts with another chemical. An international treaty, the Montreal Protocol of 1987, calls for the reduction in the use
vr of substances that deplete the ozone layer. Title of the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 implements the treaty's goals and sets forth a time table for the eventual banning ofproduction of certain ozone depleting substances in the United States. As of January 1, 1996, CFCs are no longer being produced in the United States for use in air conditioners or refrigeration. CFCs can still be used, as long as the supplies are available. Additionally, air conditioning units must be serviced by certified technicians, and these technicians are required to capture and recycle the refrigerant.
o Source Reduction
In order to prevent the loss of CFCs to the atmosphere, air conditioners (home and car) should be checked for leaks annually; any leaks should be repaired. There are new alternative refrigerants available. The new refrigerants are evaluated by the EPA under its Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) to determine ifthey pose a risk to human health or to the environment. Automakers are producing new vehicles with a non-ozone depleting refrigerant called R-134a. You may also modify your air conditioning systems to use one ofthe EPA approved substitute refrigerants. EPA estimates that these modifications may cost between $100 to $800, depending upon the make, model and year ofthe vehicle. For more information on new refrigerants or ozone depletion, contact the EPA Stratospheric Ozone Hotline at 1(800) 296-1996 or http://www.epa.gov/docs/ozone/index.html.
o Recycling/Reuse Options
Freon is recyclable. Contact a local automobile service business or a home cooling service business with certified technicians for information.
o Disposal
It is illegal to vent CFCs to the atmosphere. CFCs including Freon must be recovered and recycled.

'Freon" is a trademark name for CFCs (e.g. CFC-12) and HCFCs manufactured by Dupont.

Household Batteries: Alkaline, Non-Alkaline

.

Household batteries are used as a power source for a number of household items. This category includes AAA, AA, C and D dry cell batteries, six and nine volt batteries, and button batteries. An estimated 3.5 billion batteries are purchased annually.' Ofthis, only 10 percent are rechargeable." Batteries may contain mercury, nickel, zinc, silver, lithium, cadmium, and manganese dioxide. The most common type ofbattery is an alkaline. Alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries manufactured before 1992 contain mercury. Button batteries (used in cameras, watches, pagers, and small hearing aids) may contain mercury, silver, or lithium. Rechargeable batteries include sealed lead-acid and nickel cadmium batteries. Nickel-cadmium batteries, the most common type of rechargeable batteries, are used in kitchen and portable appliances, and some medical and communications equipment. Some ingredients in batteries may be considered corrosive, poison, flammable, an irritant, and/or toxic.
o Source Reduction
When possible, use rechargeable batteries, batteries that contain low levels of heavy metals, or batteries that do not contain mercury. To extend the life of a battery, remove the battery from the appliance when not in use. Also consider using solar powered batteries and AC adaptors.
o Recycling/Reuse Options
Some batteries are recyclable. Nickel-cadmium batteries can be processed for the nickel and cadmium.' To find the nickel-cadmium recycler nearest you, call1-800-8-BATTERY. Airtouch Cellular retail stores also accept nickel-cadmium batteries for recycling. Appendix E lists collection sites that accept household batteries by county. Mercury or silver button cell batteries can be processed for mercury and silver. Ferrous metals (containing iron) are also recoverable during the recycling process.
Alkaline batteries and zinc-carbon batteries are not recyclable at this time; however, these batteries may be recyclable in the future.
o Disposal
lithe battery cannot be recycled, then read and follow the label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal. Under state law, household batteries can be legally disposed of in a permitted, Subtitle D landfill. Batteries should be placed in a plastic bag and sealed before disposal.

Lawn Care Products {non-pesticidef

Lawn care products, such as fertilizers, are used to enhance the growth and performance of lawns, shrubs, and other plants. Many fertilizer products require special care for application and disposal. Potential hazards include immediate or long term poisoning from repeated exposure (via skin absorption, inhalation, swallowing) and harm to eyes and skin." Fertilizers often contain ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate, and/or potassium chloride. Some ingredients may be considered toxic, poisonous, reactive, explosive, and/or an eye or skin irritant.

Fertilizers and pesticides may be packaged separately or in combinations. Read the label to determine if the fertilizer contains a pesticide. If the fertilizer contains a pesticide, refer to the Lawn Care Products section on page 91 ofthis manual.

o Source Reduction
There are ways to maintain a healthy lawn and reduce fertilizer usage. These include:



planting a grass species that is appropriate for your location;



adjusting the pH of your lawn;



avoiding cutting the lawn too short or with a dull blade;



leaving the clippings on the lawn;



using compost and natural soil amendments (which slowly release nutrients) such as

fish meal, blood meal, and manure; and



watering deeply rather than often.

Contact your local county extension office for more information on these methods.

If you must buy a fertilizer, buy only as much as you need. Follow the product's directions closely to prevent over fertilizing.
o Reuse/Recycling Options
Fertilizer are still usable even if they are solidified. If you no longer have a use for the fertilizer, try to give it away to a neighbor, lawn care provider, or a civic or charitable organization that might have a use for the fertilizer. Fertilizer is not recyclable.

Mothballs

Mothballs protect fabric from moths by emitting vapors which repel moths, kill adult and larval moths, or inhibit egg-laying behavior. Mothballs may contain paradichlorobenzene, naphthalene, or camphor. Some ingredients ofmothballs may be considered toxic, poisonous, flammable, and/or an eye and skin irritant.
o Source Reduction
Alternatives to using mothballs include:



cleaning clothes before storing them in tightly sealed containers;



drying clothes in the dryer to kill the moth eggs;



periodically shaking or brushing stored clothes to get rid of any larvae or cocoons;

and



placing cedar chips with the clothes in a sealed container.

Another approach to reducing the use of mothballs is to avoid creating an environment which encourages moths. Moths eat fabric in search oflint, salt, dead insects, and human food. Keep fabric items clean to discourage the presence of moths. To prevent moths by creating an inhospitable environment for moths, vacuum the house regularly, especially rugs, drapes, upholstered furniture, closets, vents, cracks, and baseboard moldings.

If you do use mothballs, store mothballs in double plastic bags to maintain their effectiveness. A mothball is no longer effective if it is very small and no longer smells.
o Recycling/Reuse Options
Mothballs are not recyclable.
o Disposal
If the mothballs cannot be used or given away, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal. Under state law, mothballs can be legally disposed of in a permitted, Subtitle D landfill. To dispose, wrap the mothball in a plastic bag and place in a landfill.

Fumes from mothballs are flammable. Store mothballs in a tightly-sealed container away from heat sources.

Some of the propellant components may be considered toxic, flammable, poisonous, and/or an eye and skin irritant. In addition, older products may have propellants that are ozone-depleting substances. There is also the possibility that aerosol cans may burst, because the contents are pressurized.
o Source Reduction
Alternatives to using aerosol products include using products that are in a pump-spray or some other non-aerosol means of dispensing the product (e.g. roll-on or stick deodorants).

If you must purchase an aerosol product:



buy only as much as needed; and



purchase aerosols that use carbon dioxide as a propellant.

o Recycling/Reuse Options
The empty steel can is recyclable; however, not every community accepts aerosol cans in their recycling program. Contact the local recycling center for information on recycling the container. In addition, the Steel Recycling Institute at 1(800) YES-I-CAN will provide the location of the nearest steel recycling center.

o Disposal
Ifthe aerosol can cannot be recycled, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal. Under state law, aerosol cans may be legally disposed of in a
permitted, Subtitle D landfill.

Flea powders and sprays are used to kill or control household fleas. The ingredients found in some flea powders, collars, and sprays may include carbamates such as carbaryl, lindane, limonene, pyrethrins, and organophosphates such as chlorpyrifos. Many ingredients in flea powders and sprays may be considered toxic, poisonous, and/or a skin or eye irritant.

o Source Reduction

To minimize the quantity of flea powder or spray that must be managed or the hazards associated

with its use:



buy and use only the quantity needed;



purchase short-lived products (e.g. pyrethrin-based sprays)'; and



use up all of the flea powder or spray.

Fleas may be impossible to control without the use of flea powders or sprays; however, alternatives for controlling flea populations exist. These include the following:



vacuum or steam clean the carpet often to remove eggs and larvae (changing the bag

after each use);



use a flea comb to remove the fleas off pets (when fleas appear, dip the comb in

soapy water - discard the water when finished);



wash the pet's bedding frequently;



wash pets with insecticidal soap;



ask your veterinarian about oral flea controls or once-a-month sprays for your pet;



apply a dehydrating agent such as silica gel to a pet's bedding and carpet to kill the

flea larvae and eggs; and



use insect growth regulators' (such as lufenuron or methoprene) to prevent the

development of adult fleas.

o Recycling/Reuse Options
lfthe flea product cannot be used, then try offering it to civic or charitable organizations that might have a use for it. Do not give away or use insecticides that are labeled "Restricted Use" or that have been banned. Only state-licensed applicators may apply "Restricted Use" insecticides. As this labeling requirement went into effect in 1983, commercial pesticides purchased before then may not have the warning "Restricted Use". Contact the local county extension office or the EPA sponsored
National Pesticide Telecommunications Network at 1-800-858-PEST for information on insecticides

'However, these are not necessarily safer than carbamates or organophosphates.

2These work by interrupting the flea's reproductive cycle. Some are given orally to dogs and cats, while others such as methoprene are sprayed on carpets or the pet's sleeping area.

(including if the insecticide has been banned or is a restricted use insecticide). Flea powders and sprays are not recyclable.
o Disposal
If the flea powder and spray cannot be used up or given away, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal.
Empty flea powder or spray container If the liquid flea product container is empty, then triple rinse the container (using the rinse water as you would the product). The empty container should be recycled, if possible. Contact your county extension agent to determine if your county has a pesticide container recycling program. Pesticide containers should not be mixed in with other household recyclables. If the container cannot be recycled, then the empty container can be disposed of in a landfill. Empty containers for solid pesticides should not be triple rinsed, but instead they can be discarded in the landfill.
Solidified flea products Under state law, solidified flea powders or those in aerosol cans can be legally disposed of in a permitted, Subtitle D landfill. Wrap the container in several layers of newspaper, and place in a landfill. Before attempting to dispose of flea powder or spray in this manner, contact the local landfill to find out if the landfill meets this requirement. If curbside waste pick-up is provided, contact the service provider to find out if the waste is being disposed of in a landfill which meets this requirement.
Liquid flea products To solidify a liquid flea product, mix the flea product with enough absorbent material such as cat box filler or sawdust to absorb all free liquids. Place the solidified flea product in a bag or wrap in newspaper before disposing in a landfill. The empty container should be triple rinsed (using the rinse water as you would the product) and recycled, if possible. Refer to the "empty flea powder and spray container" section above for more information. Ifit cannot be recycled, then the empty container can be disposed of in a landfill.
Flea products should not be poured down septic tanks, drains (inside or outside), into a storm sewer, or on the ground. This may cause ground water contamination and/or operational problems with the septic system or POTW.
o Storage Tips
To safely store a flea product, keep it in the original container with the label intact and refer to the product's label for additional information. Store flea products in an area inaccessible to children or pets. Additional storage tips are listed in Appendix B.

Insecticides are used indoors to control or kill household insects. Some of the ingredients in insecticides include organophosphates such as chlorpyrifos, carbamates, petroleum distillates, and pyrethrins.' Some older insecticides may contain compounds that are now banned or restricted for household use. Many insecticides contain ingredients that may be considered toxic, flammable, an irritant, poisonous, and/or are slow to biodegrade.

To determine if you are dealing with a pesticide, read the container label or contact the manufacturer. Pesticides are divided into four categories. Category I pesticides, which should only be used by professionals with special training, are highly toxic and have the signal word "Danger" on the label. These products may also contain the word "Poison" on the label or a skull and cross bones. Homeowners should not purchase pesticides in the "Danger" category unless they have special training. Category II pesticides are moderately toxic and have the signal word "Warning" on the label. Category III pesticides are slightly toxic arid have the signal word "Caution" on the label. Category IV pesticides are relatively non-toxic and have the signal word "Caution" on the label.
o Source Reduction
There are alternatives to using insecticides. One way is to reduce insect populations by:



working to prevent insects from entering your home by caulking or covering entry ways such

as holes, cracks, or gaps around pipes and electric lines or screening windows and vents;



keeping food covered and not leaving any food, including pet food, out at night;



preventing dampness under sinks and around toilets;



removing hiding places for insects such as piles of old newspapers and garbage bags; and



cleaning up ants and their trail with soapy water, and sealing the opening where they are

entering the house.

If insects appear, consider using insect growth regulators (such as fire ant or roach baits) or traps before using insecticides. If you must purchase and use insecticides:



purchase and use only as much as needed;



buy products that are designed specifically for the pest;



buy the least toxic product possible;



make sure it is labeled for the area where it is going to be used;



follow label directions closely (as they are your best source for safe use

directions);



make spot applications rather than broad applications;



avoid storing products for long periods oftime (since they may become less

effective); and



use up all of the product (if you cannot use the products up, try offering it

to civic or charitable organizations that might have a use for it).

3Pyrethrins are a less toxic ingredient derived from chrysanthemums.

Liquid insecticides To solidify the liquid insecticide, mix the insecticide with enough absorbent material such as shredded newspaper, cat box filler, or sawdust to absorb all free liquids. For more information about disposing of a specific insecticide or a banned or "Restricted Use" insecticide, contact one of the pesticide resources in Appendix C. Place the solidified insecticides in a bag or wrap in newspaper before disposing in a landfill. The empty container should be triple rinsed (using the rinse water as you would the product) and recycled, if possible. Refer to the "empty insecticide container" section above for more information. If it cannot be recycled, then the empty container can be disposed of in a landfill.
Insecticides should not be poured down septic tanks, drains (inside or outside), or into a stonn sewer. This may cause ground water contamination and/or operational problems with the septic system or POTW.

Lawn care products include insecticides to control insects, herbicides to control weeds, and fungicides/bactericides used to control mildew, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides may contain one or more ofthe following: glyphosate, captan, anilazine, chlorpyrifos, carbaryl, petroleum distillates, and pyrethrins. Some ofthe ingredients in lawn care products may be considered toxic, poisonous, and/or an eye and skin irritant.

Some fertilizers contain pesticides. To determine if you are dealing with a pesticide, read the container label or contact the manufacturer. Pesticides are divided irrto four categories. Category I pesticides, which should only be used by professionals with special training, ar'e- highly toxic and have the signal word "Danger" on the label. These products may also contain the word "Poison" on the label or a skull and cross bones. Category II pesticides are moderately toxic and have the signal word "Warning" on the label. Category III pesticides are slightly toxic and have the signal word "Caution" on the label. Category IV pesticides are relatively nontoxic and have the signal word "Caution" on the label.
o Source Reduction
Alternatives to hazardous lawn care products exist. One approach to reducing the use of pesticides is to use integrated pest management (IPM) practices. IPM uses physical (manually removing weeds), biological (using lady bugs or other natural predators), and chemical (using the least toxic pesticides) controls to maintain a healthy lawn. If garden plants and lawns are healthy and suitable for the location, then there are fewer weeds, diseases, and pests; and consequently, there is less need for pesticides. Also remember that it is not always necessary to remove every weed or insect from the lawn. In order to decrease the likelihood of infestation by pests, contact the local county extension office on how to keep plants healthy and for a list of disease-resistant plants that are suitable for your area. The county extension office will also have advice on the use of beneficial insects and environmentally benign pesticides like insecticidal soap. Other ways to reduce pesticide use and maintain a healthy lawn include:



adjusting the pH of your lawn (contact your local extension office for instructions);



avoiding cutting your lawn too short or using a dull blade;



watering deeply rather than often;



leaving grass clippings and leaves on your lawn (once decomposed it is a fertilizer);



weeding by hand or using a hoe; and



using pest traps or baits.

If you must purchase and use a lawn care product,



purchase and use only as much as needed;



buy the least toxic product possible;



make sure it is labeled for the area where it is going to be used;



follow label directions closely (as they are your best source for safe use directions);



make spot applications rather than broad applications;



avoid storing products for long periods of time (since they may become less effective); and



use up all of the product ( if you cannot use the product up, try offering it to civic or

charitable organizations that might have a use for it.)

By following these suggestions, you can minimize the amount of products that must be managed or the hazards associated with their use.

Radon is an odorless, colorless radioactive gas. It comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into homes through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Homes trap radon inside, where it can build up. Nearly lout of 15 homes in the U.S. is estimated to have elevated radon levels, and radon is estimated to cause about 14,000 lung cancer deaths each year.
Testing for Radon The Surgeon General and the EPA recommend testing all homes on the lowest lived-in area ofthe home for radon. It is also a good idea to have a radon test done, if you are remodeling your home, especially a lower level (e.g., basement) that has not been lived in before. The amount of radon in the air is measured in "picocuries of radon per Liter of air," or ''pCi/L.''
The only way to know if your home has high levels of radon is to test the home. Your neighbor's radon level is not an indication of the level of radon in your home. Homes which are next to each other can have different indoor radon levels. Any type of home whether new or old or with a basement or a crawl space can have high levels of radon.
There are two options for testing your home for radon. One option is to test the home yourself, and the other is to hire a professional to test your home. If you choose to test your home yourself, you can purchase radon test kits at local hardware or discount department stores or by mail order. Some health departments offer free testing or test kits at a reduced cost; contact the local health department for more information. Radon test kits can also be ordered by calling the Radon Hotline at 1-800.SOS-RADON. Look for radon test kits listed by EPA's testing program. The device may display the phrase "Meets EPA Requirements" or "EPA listed."
EPA recommends either taking an initial short-term test for at least 48 hours, and after the first test has been completed taking a follow-up short-term test for at least 48 hours. Or taking two short-term tests at the same location for at least 48 hours. If possible, the home should be kept closed at least twelve hours prior to placing the two test kits. The windows and doors should be kept closed as much as possible during the test as well.
A second option is to hire an EPA-listed measurement service provider to test your home (refer to page 95 for information on how to find an EPA-listed radon measurement service provider). If the short-term test results indicate radon levels of 4 pCiIL or higher, EPA recommends that a follow-up test be performed. .
93
Pollution Prevention Assistance Division Georgia Department of Natural Resources ONE STOP SERVICE

Short-term versus long-term tests
Short-term tests remain in the home from two to 90 days, depending on the device. There are two groups of devices which are commonly used for short-term testing. The passive device group includes alpha track detectors, charcoal canisters, charcoal liquid scintillation detectors and electret ion chambers. The active device group consists of different types of continuous monitors. Because radon levels tend to vary from day to day and from season to season, a short term test is less likely than a long-term test to reveal a home's year-round average radon level. However, if results are needed quickly, short-term testing may be used.
Long-term tests remain in the home for more than 90 days. Alpha track and electret ion chamber detectors are commonly used for this type of testing. A long-term test will give a reading that is more reflective of a home's year-round average radon level than a short-term test.
Fixing or Mitigating a Home EPA recommends fixing or mitigating a home ifthe results of one long-term test, or the average of two short term tests, taken in the lowest lived-in area of the home show radon levels of 4 pCi/L or higher. Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L may still pose a risk, and in many cases may be reduced. Radon levels in most homes can be reduced to 2 pCi/L or below.
When mitigating a home, EPA recommends selecting a radon contractor who is listed in EPA's Radon Proficiency Program (refer to page 97 for information on how to find an EPA-listed mitigation service provider). The cost to fix a home typically ranges from $500 to $2,500. Your home should be tested again after the mitigation is complete to be sure that the radon levels have been reduced.
Radon Resistant Construction Builders can install radon resistant features into your new home which may minimize your home's radon levels and make it easier to fix a problem if it occurs later. Radon resistant construction techniques are typically more cost effective than having to install a mitigation system after the home is completed. The cost for a passive system typically ranges between $350 - $500.

Source Reduction Tips for Household Hazardous Waste 1
Buying the least toxic product available. Buying only the amount needed for the task. Using the product up or when finished with the product giving it away to a neighbor
or charity. Reading the label and following the instructions. Avoid using more of the product
than the label recommends. Buying concentrated products, which generate less packaging waste. According to
the Soap and Detergent Association, concentrates use 15 - 50% less material than traditional packaging. Buying products with packaging materials that are made from recycled materials. Less energy is used to manufacture packaging made from recycled materials than packaging made from virgin materials. Using recycled materials also reduces the natural resources that would normally be used during the manufacturing process. Buying products that have multiple functions (e.g., laundry detergent with fabric softeners). This eliminates the need for two products, therefore reducing packaging waste. Buying refillable containers - refills contain less packaging material. According to the Soap and Detergent Association, refills contain 15 - 80 % less materials than primary containers. Implementing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to reduce pesticide usage. IPM consists of the following controls in descending order of preference: physical (i.e., using traps or manually killing pests), biological (i.e., using predatory insects), or chemical (i.e., insect growth hormones.)
I Some ofthese tips were taken from the Soap and Detergent Association's brochure, Source Reduction.

Safe Use and Storage Habits
Read and follow the manufacturer's label on how to use the product. Place the date on the container. Use the oldest first. Do not mix cleaners together or with other products. Certain products are
incompatible. For example, ammonia and chlorine form a dangerous gas when mixed together. Use aluminum roaster pans to hold small containers ofpesticides to contain any spills or leaks.
Store similar products together. If possible, lock products, especially pesticides, in a cabinet or out of reach of children and pets. If products cannot be locked in a cabinet, then store hazardous products on sturdy shelves which are located high enough to be beyond the reach of small children, but below adult eye level to prevent the product from tipping over and spilling during retrieval.
Store pesticides in a plastic storage bin or bucket in case of spill. Keep pesticides separate to prevent cross-contamination. Avoid mixing pesticides near a well or a drain. Keep products in the original container with the label intact. If the product must be
transferred to another container, then transfer the label to the new container or clearly label the container. Never transfer products to bottles or cans that a child could mistake for a food or beverage container. Wash cars with biodegradable soap and avoid washing vehicles on the street where soapy water can run into the storm drain.
