In honor of Earth Day, Mike and Justin presented important information about Household Hazardous Waste to a total of 180 6th graders at Amanda Arnold Elementary, Manhattan-Ogden USD 383. They demonstrated two different types of chemical reactions: mixing two low-level corrosives plus a Sodium metal reacting to water. These mini science experiments simulated what can happen when dangerous materials, like Lithium-ion batteries, are thrown in the trash instead of properly disposed at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. The kids loved it and hopefully they learned a little, too!
Dispose of hazardous materials, including Lithium-ion batteries, during business hours at our Household Hazardous Waste Facility, located at 6245 Tuttle Creek Blvd. Call us at 785-539-3202 if you have questions.
