Safely use hazardous household products

Common household and yard products can be hazardous to fish and wildlife. If you use products, read the label and follow the directions.

What you can do:

• Dispose of leftovers or empty containers properly. Leftover chemicals can be taken to Metro’s hazardous waste transfer stations.
• Sweep up spills; don’t allow material to wash into streets or down a storm drain.
• Never dump anything in a storm drain, stream, ditch or storm pond.
• Keep unused containers closed tightly
