What is the safe way to dispose of chemical cleaning products?

We are switching to all natural cleaning products but I am not sure how to get rid of the chemical products (bleach, comet, dishwasher detergent, etc.) we already have. Can anyone tell me how to dispose of them safely? Thank!

    Call your local waste management. They have ways of disposing them for you. They will most probably charge you, but it is better than the pollution and damage you could do to the environment.

    All cleansing products (especially lots besides) incorporate unsafe chemicals and once you have used them to scrub stuff the infant will touch and in all probability put in the mouth (or handle then placed the palms interior the mouth), that's what little ones do, you fairly need to rinse the products nicely to do away with any residual chemicals that could proceed to be on the products. once you wash your dishes, you rinse the cleansing soap off, exact? comparable common concept. you need to no longer overreact the two nonetheless. hint (very small) quantities of chemicals are around us everywhere, and maximum of them are actually not relatively a probability at those tiers, and those that are authentic disadvantages at low concentrations are actually not allowed in enjoyed ones products. you're probable to divulge your infant to greater unsafe chemicals taking a walk alongside a hectic highway than in a house you maintain clean, till you're relatively going overboard with the cleansing.

    Honestly, the safest way of disposing them would be to take them to your local landfill or dump. If you don't want to pollute, there is a number on the back of the can or bottle that you can call. They always give you great information on how to dispose.
