Q: What trash can I not dispose of myself?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-properly-dispose-old-house-paint.htm">Disposing of old paint</a>, bleach, oil, and fertilizer should be handled by a company that specializes in this kind of waste. Many private junk removal companies do not dispose of these items. Because these materials are hazardous to the environment and dangerous to handle or dispose of improperly, you should confirm with your local municipality about places to take hazardous materials for safe disposal. </p></div>

Q: Are old roof shingles toxic?

• <div><p>If your roof was constructed between 1930 and 1970, there&rsquo;s a possibility that the shingles contain asbestos. If that&rsquo;s the case, you should hire a professional for repairs and replacement, as they&rsquo;ll have the necessary equipment to stay safe from such a hazardous and cancer-causing substance. If your home was constructed after this period, it&rsquo;s unlikely that the shingles in place are toxic. In most cases, asbestos shingles are not recyclable, while standard asphalt shingles are recyclable.</p></div>

Q: What products do I use to clean up lead dust?

• <div><p>You may see specialty products for sale to remove lead dust, such as D-Lead surface wipes. But you do not need to buy a special cleaner just for lead dust. A regular all-purpose cleaner, like 409 or something similar, is sufficient for cleanup. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer's directions when using it and to dilute with water.</p></div>

Q: What steps should be taken if lead is found in a property?

• <div><p>If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to dispose of hazardous wastes?

• <div><p>Household products such as paints, cleaners, oils, and batteries are considered hazardous and should not be disposed of with regular household waste. Instead, look for local household hazardous waste collection facilities where you can safely dispose of these items without harming the environment or human health.</p></div>
