WHAT is HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS <br /> When leftover paint, used oil, pool chemicals and other products containing dangerous materials are thrown away, they become "HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES." <br /> HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE (HHW) is any material discarded from homes which may threaten human health or the environmentavhen disposed of improperly. It <br /> is illegal to dispose of these items in the garbage, down drains, or onto the ground. Chemicals in illegally disposed hazardous waste can be released into the environment and <br /> contaminate our air, water, and possibly the food we eat. Americans generate 1.6 million tons of HHW per year. The average home can accumulate as much as 100 pounds of <br /> HHW in the basement, garage and in storage. <br /> 11 V1V1L � 3IATT i� i� <br /> Household Cleaners Pesticides&Garden Products Automotive Prolducctts.
