Why can't we just put them into our garbage or pour them down the drain?
When hazardous materials are put into landfills, chemicals can leach into our groundwater. Pouring toxic materials down the drain can affect the efficiency of the wastewater treatment facilities, and could eventually affect our water as well. Use safe disposal services for hazardous waste and join us in our fight to keep our environment safe and healthy.
So what do we do with hazardous materials?
Western Lake Superior Sanitary District offers FREE disposal of hazardous products at their facility at 2626 Courtland Street in Duluth, MN.
