Examples of these types of products are food, apparel, and glassware. <br /> • However, there are some products that, when disposed of, must be handled differently <br /> as they are hazardous. These products become hazardous waste at the time the <br /> decision is made to discard the products. Examples of these products are given later in <br /> this guide. <br /> • It is critical to know what these products are and how to identify them. <br /> 1 <br />
