THINK BEFORE
YOU BUY IT.
To avoid disposal problems, consider buying less hazardous products. 
Household products are hazardous if they are flammable, combustible, corrosive, toxic or reactive. A product's label provides a quick and easy way to judge the product's hazard level or the type of hazard it poses.
For more information on household hazardous waste and the county collection sites, contact your county:
If you live in a Minnesota county not listed above, call your county solid waste management office or the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency at 1-800-657-3843.
