Household Hazardous Waste
Household Hazardous Waste can be found in most houses and garages. When
hazardous materials are not disposed of correctly, our environment suffers. They
can pollute our waters, kill our plants and damage our soil. Because many of
these products are flammable and extremely corrosive, they should be kept in
a dry, well ventilated area. It is also important to properly store these materials away from pets and
people.
The County of Los Angeles hosts mobile collection events every Saturday
which are open to all residents of LA County. Please visit one of these
events to safely dispose of your hazardous waste materials. For details and
a schedule of events near you, log onto www.888CLEANLA.com or call

KNOW the ABC’S of Water Safety!
Drowning is 100 % preventable, yet is the #1 cause of death for children under the age of five. The
majority of drownings occur in residential swimming pools and spas, so remember, only a momentary
lack of supervision puts a child at risk.
“Children Drown Without a Sound, Learn the ABC’s of water safety.” Below are the basic ABC’s
of pool water safety. By learning these basic water safety tips you and your child will learn how to
prevent drowning. For more tips and information, watch the CPR Awareness video on the ABC’s of
pool safety website at www.ABCpoolsafety.org.
a
= Active adult supervision – Maintain visual on children at all times.
= Barriers – use multiple barriers to keep children out of the water such as fencing, gates,
latches, alarms, pool safety nets and covers.
= Classes – Adults should take CPR lessons, learn proper rescue techniques and keep rescue
equipment at poolside. Kids can develop swimming skills through qualified and on-going instruction.
