Hazardous Materials Collection Sites
Programs that sponsor sites where people can bring household cleaners, automobile products (e.g., antifreeze, brake fluid, gasoline, motor oil), pesticides, herbicides, paint products, outdated medicines and other hazardous materials typically found in the household for disposal. Hazardous materials are those that are labelled "corrosive", "flammable", "irritant", "toxic" or "poison" or which react when combined with other substances.
Programs that are responsible for permanently and safely disposing of medical syringes, linens, dressings, excised tissue and other waste materials generated in the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals; in medical or veterinary research; or in the production or testing of vaccines, cultures and other preparations made from living organisms and their products.
Programs that accept and safely dispose of unwanted or outdated medication. Substances that qualify for the program typically include such things as prescription drugs, nonprescription medication, acne therapies, athlete's foot treatment, vitamin and mineral supplements and throat lozenges. Medication disposal programs provide a environmentally safe alternative to flushing medications down the toilet where they may not be completely removed by the sewage treatment process or discarding them with household garbage where they may be found and consumed by children or animals or enter into the groundwater supply.
