Kitchen sink is a haven for hazardous waste

Posted by Sinks on 27th Jun 2017

The kitchen sink area can be a haven for a variety of potentially hazardous household products, one commentator has observed.Tim Doherty, a writer for the Hattiesburg American, noted that all manner of nasty items can be found stored under the average kitchen sink including anti-freeze, motor oil, paint, rat poison, batteries and brake fluid.He described such products as ooey, gooey and toxic, but perfectly legal and the kind of stuff that you cant - or definitely shouldnt - chunk to the curb for the weekly garbage pickup.Mr Doherty was commenting ahead of the Right Way to Throw Away Day, which is to be held at two collection points in Forrest and Lamar counties in Mississippi, USA, on November 13th.According to the writer, disposal is free as the day aims to encourage people to clear out clutter and get rid of potentially harmful materials from their homes.
