Take an inventory of potentially harmful chemicals in your home, basement, and garage. Know what you have and store it properly. Buy and use natural or nontoxic cleaners, polishes, and disinfectants. Use alternatives to toxic herbicides and insecticides. Use rechargeable batteries If you have hazardous chemicals you no longer use, dispose of them properly.
Check out the Household Hazardous Waste collection program for a time and location near you.Recycle your used oil. Several places will accept used motor oil and collect it for recycling. Check out the Used Oil Recycling site for more info.A gallon of used motor oil can produce the same amount of motor oil as 42 gallons of crude oil and uses only 1/3 the energy. If not recycled, one quart of used oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of drinking water.
