Here is what to do:
- Make an inventory of hazardous household products that your
mover won't be able to transport to your new home.
|
- Set aside those products that you will use up before you
move or you will personally transport to your new home.
|
- Ask the new residents if they want any of the remaining
products or offer them to neighbors or friends.
|
- Take any remaining wastes to a cost-free collection
site. Call the Health Department Hazards Line at 206-296-4692 for locations, hours
