Now I wonder if my old 1/4 filled scotch glass sitting on my night stand with a half smoked cigar resting on top would be deamed hazardous.
ReplyDeleteGreat info. Now I can get rid of the stock-pile I have in my garage! I hope everyone realizes the importance of NOT throwing hazardous things in the garbage. I hope many will participate.
