Guiding Question 30.3
What is hazardous waste, and what can the average person do to reduce his or her production of it?
Why You Should Care
The challenge with any MSW program is correctly separating inputs before they are too mixed with other wastes. Every household produces a variety of wastes—some are biodegradable, some are not, and some are hazardous. Hazardous wastes must be separated from MSW and disposed of in special hazardous waste landfills.
What hazardous waste could possibly be found in a house? Hazardous is defined as any chemical that is reactive (paint removers), corrosive (drain and oven cleaners), explosive (oil and fuels), or toxic (pesticides). Even batteries and fluorescent light bulbs contain small amounts of heavy metals that should never make it to a landfill.
