Q: Can you dispose of hazardous waste in a dumpster?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. 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: What is considered hazardous waste?

• <div><p>Hazardous waste is waste that poses a threat to human or environmental health. This generally refers to waste that is flammable, corrosive, toxic, or reactive. To confirm if the waste you need to remove <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-hazardous-waste.htm">is considered hazardous waste</a>, contact your local hazardous waste facility.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it&rsquo;s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.</p></div>

Q: What does lead dust look like?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.</p></div>
