HOW TO REMOVE HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD ITEMS

Hazardous household items can refer to a litany of items but for this blog we will simply be focusing on batteries, light bulbs, and paint. Improper disposal of these items can pose hazardous situations for the environment and even the property. At some point, it will be time to remove one or some of these items from your home. Here are the best ways to handle removing these particular items.

What To Do With Dead Batteries

When a battery inside a smoke detector or television remote dies, it may be convenient to toss that battery in the trash and replace it with a new one. Most batteries are reusable and recyclable so when batteries are thrown into the trash and sent to a landfill, it is a wasted opportunity. Not to mention batteries in a landfill can produce a toxic environment and start fires. When batteries are dead, recharge them or make sure they get recycled.

What To Do with Broken Light Bulbs

Light bulbs are another hazardous item that should never be tossed into a pile of regular trash. Broken light bulbs should be placed in a bag and set outside for a recycling team to collect.

What To Do with Unwanted Paint Cans

Paint cans full of paint are heavy and can be tricky to throw away. If you find old buckets full of paint that you do not want around anymore, one way to remove it is to take it to a local waste community. You can also hire a junk removal company to come and take it away. Junk removal companies can oftentimes re-purpose the paint and put it to use.
