Kansas Residents

Tips

  • Read labels carefully. Avoid buying products labled danger, warning, caution, flammable, explosive, corrosive, caustic, toxic or poison.
  • Buy only what you need for the job at hand. Calculate how much paint you need.
  • Properly store and organize products to increase safety, maintain product integrity, and avoid buying what you already have.
  • Share what you can't use or don't need with a friend or neighbor.
  • Recycle what can be recycled in your area, such as motor oil and automotive batteries.
  • Use safer products whenever possible. To get started, visit Safe Alternatives.
