BCSWMD: Household Hazardous Waste

Click the graphic above to reduce waste, save precious resources and ease the burden on landfills. BCSWMD is not affiliated with this FreeCycle site.

Laundry:

Detergent

Use powdered, phosphate-free detergent. Do not use more than the prescribed amount as more soap will only add a surface film, not get clothes cleaner.
For extra whitening, use soap flakes and washing soda.

Perspiration Stains

Weak water solutions of white vinegar, lemon juice or aspirin can be used as a pre-soak to remove stains.
Soak clothes in a solution of corn meal and water.

Stain Remover

Try a water and vinegar on weak stains.
On tough stains try soaking the spot in a mixture of ¼ cup borax in 2 cups of cold water before washing.
Rub corn meal and water into greasy stains then rinse with lemon juice before machine washing.

White/Bright

Avoid using chlorine bleach as it can be hazardous when combined with other elements in waste water.
Washing soda will give the same results as bleach.
