As a result, they tend to have a damaging effect on human health and even the environment.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/hw\/household-hazardous-waste-hhw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">household hazardous waste<\/a> \u2013 or HHW \u2013 the EPA views certain home products that may be corrosive, toxic, explosive, reactive, or flammable as part of this category.<\/p>\n<p>Hazardous wastes can range from the chemicals under your kitchen sink to asbestos insulation or lead paint in your walls. The list of common hazardous wastes can be extensive, including motor oil, paints, household cleaners, pesticides, and even batteries.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"maintoc\">Why is it important to handle household hazardous wastes?<\/h3>\n<p>Due to the health risks, it\u2019s essential that HHW is handled with care. Many of these materials and chemicals can be corrosive, flammable, poisonous, toxic, or highly reactive. Some are even explosive. They can cause serious injury and even death if not dealt with mindfully.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an older home, you may have hazardous materials such as lead or asbestos within your home. It\u2019s important to leave the removal of these materials to experts. When in doubt, search locally for professionals specialized in the handling and disposal of hazardous wastes. Don\u2019t take the risk yourself.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"maintoc\">How do you avoid hazardous chemicals and materials at home?<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to keep hazardous wastes and harmful materials out of your home is to avoid using them in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Use a plunger or drain auger instead of chemicals to unclog your drain. Rely on safer solutions for cleaning your home, such as baking soda to deodorize rugs and carpets, or a mixture of vinegar and water to wash windows.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA also has a website \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/saferchoice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safer Choice<\/a> \u2013 that can help you find home products with safer ingredients. Be sure to check it out!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, not all harmful waste in your home is something you brought in yourself. In these cases, you may be looking at ways to have these hazards removed completely.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"maintoc\">How do you handle harmful materials at home?<\/h3>\n<p>For the chemicals, cleaners, and other health hazards you bring into your home, be sure to read the instructions for use and storage carefully. These products should also have clear directions for disposal, as well as the risks in using these products, right on the label.<\/p>\n<p>Never mix chemicals and other hazardous materials with each other. Likewise, always store them in the original container they came in.<\/p>\n<p>Your local community may have programs for the collection of hazardous wastes and chemicals. Whether it\u2019s a collection site or a recurring event, it\u2019s worth checking locally to see what options are available.<\/p>\n<p>Try searches like \u201cwaste disposal near me,\u201d \u201chazardous waste disposal near me,\u201d \u201chousehold hazardous waste collection,\u201d and \u201chazardous waste collection programs\u201d in Google or your preferred search engine to see if anything local comes up.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, homeowners looking to safeguard their property beyond waste management can choose our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selecthomewarranty.com\/texas\/houston\/home-warranty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">home maintenance shield for Houston residents<\/a> for added protection against common system and appliance failures.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"maintoc\">Home warranties don\u2019t cover hazardous materials, but\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>They still offer significant protection for home systems and appliances that can\u2019t be beat.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re concerned about the impact of dangerous wastes and other hazards in your home, you clearly value peace of mind.
