If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn&rsquo;t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you&rsquo;ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.</p></div>

Q: Why is lead paint toxic?

• <div><p>Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline.
