Hazardous Material Disposal
Hazardous materials include household products that are toxic, flammable, corrosive, or poisonous. Common examples include paints, gasoline, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, batteries, and certain cleaning chemicals. These materials require special disposal because they can harm people, wildlife, and the environment if handled improperly.
In Jackson, Mississippi, hazardous materials should not be thrown in regular household trash or poured down drains or storm sewers. The city’s waste system is not designed to safely treat these chemicals, and they can contaminate rivers, lakes, and drinking water supplies.
