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

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.
