Protect your Health and the Environment: Household Toxics

Did you know that items we use everyday could be hazardous? This is especially true if they are disposed of improperly. Dumping home toxics down drains, sinks and toilets or putting them in the trash could hurt your health and the environment around you.​  The Ionia County Conservation District offers household toxic waste collection at locations around the county.
