Hazardous Materials

 

Surprisingly, hazardous materials (hazmat) are found in many of the items that Earthship clients purchase and have sent to their lockers every day.

These materials often include everything from paints to batteries. But in addition to the obvious ones, some mundane items such as cosmetics, aerosols and perfumes can be considered dangerous goods.
