As we come into the holiday season and pull out those treasured decorations, maybe you have come across one of those old, hidden bags or containers of harmful pesticides such as Diazinon or Dursban? Not sure what to do now that you found them?
To dispose of these and other hazardous products, you may take them to one of the local Household Hazardous Waste Collection Centers located near you. Best part is - it won’t cost you anything. While you are there, visit the Material Exchange Program where you can choose up to five items from a selection of partially used containers of household, yard and car-care products – also free!
