Many products used in daily home and business activities are considered hazardous and MUST be contained and disposed of legally. Examples include:

• used crankcase oil, AC coolants, and engine fluids
• solvents and pool chemicals
• batteries and electronic hardware
• paper and plastic packaging
• herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers
• medicines and medical packaging

Federal and Florida laws require people to pay for clean up hazardous materials if improperly stored or disposed of. The websites http://www.dep.state.fl.us/ and http://www.dep.state.fl.us/ contain guidelines and contact information regarding proper disposal.
