Drinking Water Quality
Properly dispose of the chemicals you use in your home. Every chemical you buy has the potential of polluting the environment if disposed of improperly. Remember, if your home is served by a sewage system, your drain is an entrance to your wastewater disposal system and eventually to a drinking water source. Treat your wastewater system with respect. The Hillsborough County Solid Waste Management Department has a program called “Home Safe Home” that has locations and dates for household chemicals and electronics collections (residential household materials only), for more information, please call the Solid Waste Management Department at 813-272-5680 or visit their website at http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/solidwaste
