I love the Christmas holidays. However, I understand this time of the year can be detrimental to the environment. Do you want to protect the environment for your children and future generations? Consider practicing environmentally-friendly tips during the hectic holiday season. For instance, think about wrapping all of your gifts in recycled materials. Instead of investing in a real Christmas tree, buy an artificial one. You can enjoy putting it up for many years to come. You might also want to limit the amount of lights you decorate with, or avoid using holiday lights altogether. On this blog, I hope you will discover more tips to help you protect the environment.
Some waste products are obviously hazardous. The hot tub chemicals left over from last summer, the half-empty can of drain cleaner under the sink, and the car battery in your garage are all plainly hazardous and should be disposed of in a legal and prudent manner.
However, a variety of seemingly innocuous substances and items lurking in your house also require special treatment. Make sure you avoid stiff penalties and stay on the right side of the law by treating the following substances as hazardous.
As always, it is wise to err on the side of caution, and solicit professional hazardous waste disposal advice if you are unsure of the proper disposal methods for anything you need to discard.
