Toxic wastes are those chemicals that are considered harmful to health and are wasted, representing a real danger to humans. Most of what you want to get rid of, due to the inexperience of the person who handles this type of waste, dumps it in a pipe, in the drain or in the ordinary garbage. They must be classified and registered that no residues remain in the containers that contained them, then they can be taken to the solid collection centers.
The recycling is one of the solutions to prevent accumulation of waste, ie, making art or new products that have multiple uses and are quite useful. Products such as paper can be reused, with crystals you can create true works of abstract art, with cardboard you can create many everyday objects in much smaller dimensions.
