If you knew your household cleaners were considered Hazardous Waste would you continue to use them?
Posted by | Under Uncategorized Wednesday Mar 25, 2009Have you ever taken a look at what a city or recycling center will take or not take? Seriously, go to your towns web site and take a look. Household Chemicals ( the ones we spray all over and clean our floors and windows, and bathrooms with) are considered “hazardous waste” and should NOT be dumped down the drains ( interesting!) For proper disposal, they should be brought to your local facility for proper disposal.
Yes, these products that we keep under lock and key and pull out while the children are napping and spay all over the place. In essense, we are spaying hazardous waste all over our homes while they are sleeping.
If “they” make it, it must be safe. WRONG! don’t assume anyone cares for your well being. They aren’t regulated and so if they don’t self regulate, ( which cost a lot more time effort and money) they are going to produce something that does the job, but hasnt’ been tested for safety.
9 out of 10 poisonings are a result of a household cleaner! And over the past 30 years there have been over 81,000 chemicals registered with the EPA , of which less than 20% have been tested for safety. …and there are no regulations that say that they MUST.
Stay tuned… much more to follow.
Definitely worth the read
