Here are some tips for HHW management including ideas on how not to create HHW in the first place.
1. REDUCE - Buy only the amount needed to do the job, that way you won't have extra to get rid of.
Also, use only the amount indicated on the label needed to do the job - using more does not mean that it will work that much better!

2. REUSE - If you have a product that is usable, but you don't need or want to use it, give it to a neighbour or relative who will use it as it is intended and will properly dispose of what is left over.

3. RECYCLE - Take your lead-acid batteries back to place of purchase, recycle your oil and oil filters.
