Hazardous Materials
A hazardous product is one whose use or disposal poses a threat to human health or the environment. It should never be put in the trash, down the drain, into storm drains or burned. The Landfill of North Iowa can assist your business with proper disposal options and provide documentation that your waste has been correctly disposed of.
What is a hazardous material?
How do you know if you have an HM? Read the label. Look for the words “poison,” “danger,” “warning” or “caution.” Any product which is reactive, corrosive, poisonous or flammable is categorized as an HM. That would include products such as paints, cleaners, oils, insecticides, and solvents.
