What To Do With Return to A-Z Guide

Swimming pool chemicals

Swimming pool chemicals, such as chlorine and pH balancer, are considered hazardous materials and are accepted for safe disposal at Washtenaw County's Home Toxics disposal site.

 

Recycle Right!

Chlorine can be extremely harmful to skin if not handled properly. Ensure that everything is securely closed during transportation. Do NOT put pool chemicals in your curbside recycling cart as they are extremely dangerous. The hazardous waste/chemicals inside could leak out which creates dangerous conditions for our workers and could contaminate an entire load of recyclables, turning them into trash and not recycled.

 

Choose Zero Waste!

Always follow the storage instructions to safely store and maintain chlorine tabs/blocks, and pH balancer. This will minimize product waste and ensure you use everything, leaving only empty containers for disposal.
