Be Aware Of The Dangers Of Hazardous Waste

The EPA defines hazardous waste, as  “a waste with properties that make it dangerous or capable of having a harmful effect on human health and the environment”. It has a few origins including:

• Gases
• Sludge
• Solids
• Liquids

But to fit the definition of a hazardous waste is must be in a solid state. Due to the fact and the law companies such as Easy Dumpster Rental cannot transport hazardous waste. It must be transported by specially designated carriers, then it is taken to special treatment sites and disposed of. Once at these disposal sites the hazardous waste begins the recycling process.

The EPA has developed guidelines to determine if a waste contains certain properties which can pose a threat to us or the environment. The waste must fall under the following four classifications. Reactivity, Corrosivity, Toxicity, and Ignitability. Below we will give a quick definition of each classification.

Reactivity: These are dangerous because under normal circumstances they may become unstable. They can explode

Corrosivity: A waste that has a pH equal to or less than 2. A pH that is greater than 12.2 can be highly corrosive

Toxicity: These are a waste when absorbed or eaten can cause harm to our bodily systems. Typically, these toxins are leached into the underwater ground systems from landfills and can contaminate our drinking water

Ignitability: These are wastes including liquids that can erupt into fires. These fires can cause harmful or even deadly air pollution

A majority of homeowners are oblivious to the fact that they have hazardous materials in their homes. It is imperative that we are informed so we can identify these wastes or materials.  Some of the more common household hazardous waste include:

Make sure you are following the directions on the product labels. Recognize how to use and dispose of these potentially harmful materials. Local government websites are a great resource to help you identify hazardous waste. The most ideal situation is not to bring these products into your home in the first place.

Do a Google search and you will find thousands of replacement items and be sure to check out your local grocery store shelves, they have plenty of alternative products.
