How to dispose of Pool Chemicals

Steps

1. Never mix different pool chemicals together — can cause toxic gas or fire.
2. Keep chemicals in their original containers with labels intact.
3. Take to a household hazardous waste facility for proper disposal.
4. Contact your pool supply store — some accept old chemicals.
5. Never pour pool chemicals down drains, storm sewers, or into waterways.

Pool chemicals (chlorine, muriatic acid, algaecides) are highly reactive and toxic. Never mix them — even residues can react violently.
