Why we can't throw away hazardous chemicals

Throwing hazardous household chemicals away in a bin or down the drain is dangerous.

When you put them in the bin, chemicals can explode, catch fire, leak or mix with other substances, releasing fumes and potentially harming your family and people at sorting facilities and in waste trucks. 

Pouring them down the drain may pollute waterways and make rivers and beaches unsafe for swimming, contaminate our water supply, and harm wildlife and vegetation.
