We are all guilty of throwing some of these in the normal trash but they can be hazardous to humans, animals and the environment. Whether they contain chemicals, poisons or infectious disease, properly disposing of such items is the only way to keep them from leaking into our water or saturating our soil. To find the right recycling program for your item, check with your local village or town hall. Many times they can direct you to a program they host or a third party who can take the items. You can also check out earth911.com for any available options near you.
