Guide for Unusual Items

Use Less Toxic Options

NEVER MIX HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS.Do not mix bleach with other cleaners or soaps, especially ammonia products. These mixtures create hazardous gases.

USE SAFER ALTERNATIVES.Clean efficiently using common, less-hazardous, and inexpensive products. Visit bellevuewa.gov/GreenCleaning to register for a free, hands-on Green Cleaning Workshop presented by Bellevue Utilities.

CHOOSE A PRODUCT WITH LITTLE OR NO SCENT AND AVOID AEROSOLS. Perfume chemicals may be irritants for children and people with respiratory ailments or sensitive skin. Aerosol overspray may contain propellants or solvents. Pump sprayers or wipe-on liquids typically use less product.

AVOID AIR FRESHENERS AND FABRIC SOFTENERS. These products add particles and perfume chemicals to indoor and outdoor air, which may trigger asthma and skin ailments.

TRUE OR FALSE?Indoor air is cleaner than the air outdoors.False. We spend almost all of our time indoors where air is almost 100 times more polluted from gases and particles than outside. Open windows occasionally to air out your home with a fresh breeze. (Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)

READ THE LABEL BEFORE YOU BUY.Use the least hazardous product that does the job. Avoid products labeled DANGER, POISON, CAUTION, or WARNING.

FLUORESCENT TUBES & BULBS, CFL, & HID LIGHTS

Hazardous products should not go in household garbage. Safely dispose these materials for no cost at the Factoria Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off site, or local disposal locations listed.

CAUTION | WARNING DANGER | POISONHazardous Waste

Recycle Used Motor Oil Place in transparent 1-gallon jugs with screw on lids. Take to one of the motor oil recycling locations listed on the other side of this mailer.

Is it hazardous?If the label says DANGER, POISON, WARNING or CAUTION, it is hazardous.
