WHY:         The average American household stores three to ten gallons of hazardous chemicals in the kitchen, basement, shed or garage that they no longer use.  Improper disposal of these materials can present a significant threat to the environment.  Participating in this hazardous waste day will ensure that your household chemicals will be either recycled or disposed of properly.
