Any product used for maintaining your residence or boat which is labeled, "Caution, Warning, Danger, Poison, Toxic, Flammable or Corrosive," is considered a household hazardous waste. Proper disposal is extremely important! It is dangerous and illegal to discard household hazardous material in the trash or down the drain.
