In other words, read the label.
One of the most hazardous items in your home are those curly CFL bulbs. These contain a significant amount of toxic mercury that can be released as vapors if the bulb is broken. Handle them with care and when they burn out seal them in a plastic bag and dispose at your local hazardous waste facility. Traditional fluorescent tube lights may contain mercury and should also be handled carefully and disposed with hazardous waste
So I should stop using them in my skeet launcher?
What happens if a couple of those accidentally break in a public place?
Say...at a “gay” “weddimg”?
Who cares? Liberals foisted CFL light bulbs on us. They banned televisions, yet, there is no where to dispose of them.
I am tired of hearing how we are all going to die with the chemicals around us. For decades the people had these chemicals without fear and stupidity by the left.
Pour it down the sink or throw it in the trash. F’em.
This makes me want to combine everything the list into a big metal garbage can, light a fire under it, and see what happens :)
Don’t store black powder in the drawer under your oven.
I like to mix them all together in a big bucket and see what color smoke they give off. /s
Perhaps not an issue for the “average” household, but phosgene gas (wicked stuff look it up) can be produced from clorinated brake cleaner and heat (welding). I used to use brake cleaner to clean crud and grease from metal prior to welding it. Fortunately, for me, I never had a problem but have read about the warnings and heeded them.
Oven cleaner may contain Lye that is why I use a mask. Eventhough I use the Fume Free Easy Oven however I have been spraying that stuff on my bathtub to eliminate the shower mat markings on the tub. It works wonder =)
Looks like you have a Hazmat site.

We used to take them out of dumpsters when we were kids and “sword fight” with them.
Guess that probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do, huh?
