Toxic waste must not, under any circumstances, be thrown in the bin or down the drain.

Leave hazardous and/or toxic waste in its original packaging.

Containers and packaging must be hermetically sealed.

Never mix different substances, as this could cause dangerous chemical reactions.

Damaged packaging must be placed in other leak-proof containers.

Waste containing toxic substances must be placed in strong, leak-proof plastic containers or bags.

If you need to dispose of needles or syringes, use the sharps bins provided in pharmacies and the Resource Centre.
