Alternatives:
Did you wish you didn't have to use your Saturday to come recycle hazardous materials you found in your garage or basement? Would you like to reduce the amount of HHW you have around your house? If you answered "yes", try these less-toxic alternative cleaning products (courtesy of Dover, NH Community Services). Not only are they environmentally-friendly and work as well as the "chemical products", but in most cases they are cheaper, too.
