Paints, cleaners, automotive fluids, batteries, pesticides, glue, medication, TV's, computers, phones and YES, even some beauty products are all considered Household Hazardous Waste or HHW for short. According to the EPA, Americans store 100 pounds of these hazardous wastes away in garages, closets and basements each year and another 1.6 million tons is irresponsibly thrown away. When you toss your toxins down the drain or in the trash, it makes its way to landfills and waterways which contaminates the air you breath and water you drink.
