Hazardous wastes exist in the household in the form of common products used every day. Identify 4 products in your home that meet one of the 4 characteristics for hazardous waste (one product for Ignitability, one for Corrosivity, one for Reactivity, and one for Toxicity). For example, a can of hairspray is ignitable. Describe each product (what it is, the manufacture or producer, what it’s used for, and how it meets the characteristic of hazardous waste by identifying the component or chemical compound responsible). Describe the proper mode of disposal if the product could not be disposed in the household trash and where in the local area disposal of the product would be accepted. Collect the label from each product and attach to the assignment (if unable to remove the label, a picture is acceptable).
