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.

Q: How is lead removal professionally conducted?

• <div><p>Professional lead removal involves identifying and safely removing or encapsulating lead-based paints and materials, using specialized equipment, and following strict safety procedures to minimize exposure and contamination.</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.
