<bot>: To properly contain and dispose of potentially hazardous materials, it is important to use appropriate containers and labels. Ensure the containers are made of appropriate material such as metal or polyethylene, and are sealed in order to contain any leakage. Store the containers away from living spaces, heat sources and combustible materials. When disposing of hazardous materials, take them to a designated hazardous waste collection site or contact a qualified environmental services company.
