Clean up your act!

Is your garage or basement cluttered with old products that could be hazardous? Don’t risk safety or the environment by improperly disposing of them. Old chemicals can pose dangers like leaks and accidents. Instead, use Clean Sweep, which accepts pesticides and mercury at no charge; just make an appointment. Local communities and counties also offer household hazardous waste disposal options. Always use proper safety equipment when handling chemicals, and don’t keep chemicals that you won’t use. For more information, visit the Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
