If not properly stored, hazardous materials can leak and contaminate soil and water, causing severe health problems. Hazardous waste generators are responsible for regular inspections of all storage areas. Storage areas should be dry, well-ventilated, and away from heat sources.

Many everyday household items contain mercury, which can cause mercury contamination. Some examples of mercury products include thermostats, fluorescent light bulbs, and thermometers.
