There are many types of containers that we use that once held simple household hazardous wastes such as charcoal lighter fluid containers, oil cans, bleach containers and pesticides. We deposit these in the trash when empty.

The EPA terms these containers as household hazardous waste containers and dictates they be empty before putting into the trash. The ItzagasCan is also considered a household hazardous waste container.

The key word here is empty. What is empty? The EPA wants as much removed as possible from the container prior to disposal. Technically, in the case of the ItzaGasCan, the container must contain less than 1" of fuel but it is our reccomendation to empty completely and place the container in a well ventilated outdoor trash recepticle.
