Saturday is the time to easily get rid of all that “Chemical stuff” in the basement, garage and shed? If you’re planning on selling your home, now is the time to get rid of the chemicals in your home instead of waiting until the closing only to find that it is very difficult to get rid of those chemicals. Not only is this a GREEN thing but it is also a safety and taxpayer cost concern.
Folks that live in the Nashua Regional Planning Commission area can participate. Amherst, Brookline, Hollis, Hudson, Litchfield, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, Nashua, Pelham, and Windham. If you live in another area – you can contact your local Public Works department to see what is available locally.
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) comes from everyday products used in the home, yard, or garden. By definition, they are corrosive, flammable, toxic, or reactive. Paints and solvents, oven cleaners, pool chemicals, pesticides, drain openers, and auto chemicals are just a few examples
When hazardous waste is improperly disposed of in the trash, on the ground, down the sink, or into a storm drain, it poses a threat to water quality and may kill fish and wildlife. Household toxins may also injure humans and animals if they are exposed to these chemicals due to careless storage and handling.
