Before you go, a little preparation will make the experience safe and efficient for you and staff:
- Don’t mix products.
- Keep products in their original containers.
- Label products that are not in their original containers.
- Secure products to prevent spills or leaks.
- Store hazardous products in your vehicle’s trunk, truck bed, or trailer, separate from items you want to keep.
- Stay in your vehicle and follow on-site staff directions during your Wastemobile visit.
